BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE 



White (A.) — Continued. 



He was educated at Douay college, France, 

 where lie was ordained priest in 1605. After 

 his return to England in 1606 he was arrested, 

 with sixteen other priests, and sentenced to 

 perpetual banishment. He entered the Society 

 of Jesus on 2 Feb., 1609, and returned to Eng- 

 land at the risk of his life, and was engaged in 

 missionary duties there until 1619. In 1633 he 

 was chosen by the Jesuit general, Mutius Vitel- 

 leschi, to accompany Lord Baltimore to this 

 country, with some other Jesuits. After land- 

 ing he devoted himself to the conversion of the 

 Piscataway and Patuxent Indians. Father 

 "White learned the language of the Indians, and 

 compiled a grammar, vocabulary, and cate- 

 chism. They were all supposed to be lost un- 

 til Father William McSherry discovered the 

 catechism in the Jesuit archives at Home.— J^p-

 in the Indian language of Virginia.] 



In American Ant. Soc. Proc. April 25, 1860 

 [no. 32], pp. 45-46, Boston, 1860, 8'^. (Eames.) 



A list of twenty names of birds, and seven- 

 teen names of fishes, mostly with English de- 

 scriptions. The names are taken from the 

 scrap-book of 112 original drawings, in water- 

 color, of this artist, preserved in the British 

 Museum (Sloane and additional Manuscripts, 

 5270). This book came to the Museum with 

 the collection of Sir Hans Sloane; and the vol- 

 ume has this entry, which is believed to be in 

 his handwriting: "The original drawings of 

 the habits, towns, customs, of the "West In- 

 dians, and of the plants, birds, fishes, &c., 

 found in G roenland, Yirginia, Guiana, &c.; by 

 Mr. John "White, who was a painter, andaccom- 

 panied Sir "Walter Kalegh in his voyage. See 

 the preface to the first part of ' America ' of 

 Theodore de Bry, or the ' Description of Vir- 

 ginia,' where some of these draughts are curi- 

 ously wrought by that graver." 



Another collection of drawings by "White, 

 perhaps similar to the above, was sold by 

 Henry Stevens to the British Museum in 1866, 

 for 235?. It is described in the printed cata- 

 logue of the library as follows : "The pictures 

 of sondry things collected and counterfeited 

 according tt) the truth in the voyage made by 

 S'' "Walter Raleigh knight, for the discovery of 

 LaVirginea . . . intheyeare . . , 1585. 

 [The 76 original drawings in water colours 

 made by John "White, who was sent by Queen 

 Elizabeth as draughtsman in Ealeigh'a second 

 expedition to Virginia in 1585, some of which 

 were engraved by Theodor de Bry in 1590 to 

 illustrate his edition of Harlot's 'Report of 

 Virginia' in Pt. I of his America.] [1585] fol.
