Thomas Hariot (1560-1621)
A briefe and true report of the new found land of Virginia . . .
Frankfurt am Main: Typis Ioannis Wecheli, svmtibvs vero Theodori DeBry, anno (1590)
46 pp., 34 plates
This account of the first attempt to plant an English colony in America is also the first published book illustrated from drawings executed in what is now the United States. It features the work of artist John White, whose sketches represent the earliest authentic pictorial record of life in the New World. It is, in the words of one savant, the "most delectable of Americana." Shown opposite is the celebrated "Adam and Eve plate," considered one of the finest copper-plate engravings ever published and emblematic of Europe's hope that the western hemisphere would prove a new Eden of peace and plenty. The author, a mathematician and scientist, had been dispatched by Sir Walter Raleigh as a surveyor with expeditions in 1584 and 1585. The second expedition lasted nearly a year, allowing Hariot and his companions ample opportunity to explore from Ocracoke Island to Hampton Roads. This surviving record of his investigations was written more to promote the Virginia Company than as a scientific report. Virginia is presented not so much as a place to make a home, but rather as a source of riches to be harvested and sent back to Europe. Only after recounting all of the commercial possibilities did he proceed to a description of the lives and manners of the inhabitants. Hariot's work first appeared as a pamphlet in 1588 but did not reach a wide audience until it was issued in 1590 by Theodore de Bry, accompanied by White's drawings. Published in four language editions, of which the English one is now by far the rarest, the book was a great success and launched the publication of de Bry's exhaustive Grands and Petits Voyages. More importantly, Hariot's account stirred public interest in the New World and probably was a key factor in generating renewed enthusiasm for the Virginia colony.

      Abstract:
        This essay is an exploration of the theoretical and practical problems posed by translating Jacques Derrida's essay "What is a 'relevant' translation?" into English, given the peculiar marginality of translation in academic institutions, especially in the United States. Whereas cultural studies exhibits a theoreticism that strips translation of its material specificity, translation studies exhibits an empiricism that suppresses the philosophical and political implications of translation. These limitations motivated translation strategies that aim not only to address the two constituencies in terms that are intelligible to each, but to alter the very terms in which we understand and study translation. Hayles, N. Katherine.

    ScienceWeek ON THOMAS HARIOT (1560-1621) AND THE LAW OF REFRACTION
    The following points are made by Hans C. von Baeyer (New Scientist 2001 11 August):
    1) Hariot was a mathematician, deriving fundamental theorems in cartography, trigonometry and algebra, and adding the symbols > and < to the mathematical lexicon. He worked on mirrors and lenses, and built telescopes contemporaneously with Galileo. With these telescopes, Hariot independently discovered the phases of Venus, made the first map of the Moon, and anticipated Galileo in observing sunspots and measuring the periods of the satellites of Jupiter. His observations of the comet of 1607, the comet later to become famous as "Halley's comet", were good enough to be used in cometary orbital calculations 200 years later.
    2) Among Hariot's wide-ranging interests was the phenomenon of refraction. During Hariot's time, the laws of refraction were eagerly sought by the designers of optical instruments as well as by astronomers who wanted to correct for the effect of Earth's atmosphere on starlight. The inherited lists and rules of thumb for describing refraction were known to be incomplete and in places highly inaccurate. Unlike the eminent astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), who disdained painstaking experimentation and relied instead on various approximate formulas arrived at by speculation, Hariot perfected a simple technique for observing refraction, and with this technique he discovered the correct law of refraction by 1602, 19 years before Willebrord Snell (1580-1626), who is usually given credit for the discovery.

Brothers, 1888 In March 1584 Queen Elizabeth of England granted Sir Walter Raleigh a territory of 200 leagues wherever he chose to settle in North America. Back in England a few months later, a reconnaissance expedition identified Virginia as a favourable place for realizing Raleigh's plans. A first attempt failed; from August 1585 to June 1586 a group of settlers stayed on Roanoke Island in Chesapeake Bay, but the hostility of the Indians of North America and lack of supplies forced the group to return to England. In May 1587 Sir Walter Raleigh sent a second expedition headed by one John White. The colonists settled on Roanoke Island, and a few weeks after his arrival John White returned to England in search of provisions. But he was unable to get back until 1590, and when he did, there was no longer anyone there. Among the settlers who stayed in Virginia from 1585 to 1586 was Thomas Hariot, a young man of 25 who had been hired as a surveyor and historiographer. The

    A Briefe and True Reporte of the New Found Land of Virginia
    by Thomas Hariot (1560-1621)
    On the nature and maners of the people ...The Wiroans with whom we dwelt called Wingina, and many of his people would bee glad many times to be with us at our Prayers, and many times call upon us both in his owne towne, as also in others whither bee sometimes accompanied us, to pray and sing Psalmes, hoping thereby to be partaker of the same effects which we by that meanes also expected. Twise this Winoans was so grievously sicke that he was like to die, and as he lay languishing, doubting of any helpe by his owne priestes, and thinking hee was in such danger for offending us and thereby our God, sent for some of us to pray and bee a meanes to our God that it would please him either that he might live, or after death dwell with him in blisse, so likewise were the requests of many others in the like case. On a time also when their come began to wither by reason of a drought which happened extraordinarily, fearing that it had come to passe by reason that in some thing they had displeased us, many would come to us and desire us to pray to our God of England, that he would preserve their Corne, promising that when it was ripe we also should be partakers of the fruit.
