In October the new Governor came from England in the George, and with him a goodly company.

Among others is found George Sandys, brother of Sir Edwyn.

This gentleman and scholar, beneath Virginia skies and with Virginia trees and blossoms about him, translated the "Metamorphoses" of Ovid and the First Book of the "Aeneid", both of which were published in London in 1626.

He stands as the first purely literary man of the English New World.

But vigorous enough literature, though the writers thereof regarded it as information only, had, from the first years, emanated from Virginia.
