Note. — This work contains reliable reprints of the early writings relating to 



Bermuda, by Oviedo, May, Jourdan, Strachy, Admiral Somers, Gov. Moore, Rev. 



Lewis Hughes, Gov. Nathaniel Butler, Norwood, Capt. John Smith, and others. 



Two of the early maps by Norwood are reproduced. See above, p. 535, note. 



Lefroy, Governor J. H. (Editor). — Historye [The] of the Bermudaes or Summer 



Islands, edited from a MS. in the Sloane Collection, British Museum, pp. 



319, 8vo ; with portrait of Capt. John Smith. Printed for the Hakluyt 



Society, London, 1882. 



Note. — The author of this very important MS. History was supposed by 



Lefroy to have been Capt. John Smith. Subsequent investigations have shown 



that it was by Gov. Nathaniel Butler (1619-1622), and that Capt. Smith copied 



extensively from it in compiling his works. See "The Academy," Dec, 1892; 



also above, p. 552, note. 



Nearly all that is known about the settlement and history of the Islands, from 

 1613 to 1624, is derived from this work and those of Hughes, Rev. Lewis.

* Governor Lefroy was the only governor of Bermuda actively interested in 

 Natural History. He aided and encouraged the investigations of Mr. J. M. 

 Jones ; Mr. G. Brown Goode ; Professor Win, North Rice, and others. Governor 

 Lefroy was heartily devoted to the interests of the Bermudas and promoted their 

 prosperity in many ways. Many important public works were completed during 

 his administration. He introduced large numbers of new, useful and ornamental 

 trees and flowering plants, of which lists are given in his work on the Botany of 

 the islands (Bull. U. S. National Mus., No. 25, 1884). See under Botany. He 

 sailed from Bermuda, May 10, 1877. The farewell address by the Hon. John 

 Harvey Darrell, and Governor Lefroy's reply are printed in the Hamilton papers, 

 May 15, 1877. He was the author of many works on Magnetic observations, 

 Artillery, and other military subjects. He was born at Ashe, Hampshire, Jan. 

 28, 1817, and died in Cornwall, Eng., Apr. 11, 1890. See portrait, plate civ.
