about the book
Many members of the Virginia Company were also members of the Middle Temple. In
2005 the Middle Temple attempted to purchase our publication TOBACCO CORN &
CAVIAR asking if we accepted credit cards. At that time we did not but realized
if anyone deserved a donated copy, it was the library at the Middle Temple, so
we donated a standard hardcover edition.
In 2006 we were almost overwhelmed when we received an invitation to be the
guests of the Temple and attend the exclusive two day gala to commemorate the
April 10, 1606 first Charter. We were so pleased with the invitation we elected
to present the Library with a copy of our hand sewn, leather bound, limited
edition. We attended, had a wonderful time and needless to say (but I will) the
gala was spectacular!
All publishers desire prestigious book endorsements or reviews but the letter
that follows is much more. When you publish a book that is used as a reference
by The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple for such an important event, all
other reviews pale in comparison.
A very special thank you to Air Commodore Peter Hilling - Under Treasurer,
Vanessa Hayward - Keeper of the Library, Lesley Whitelaw - Archivist and
Kristine McGlothlin - EA to the Under Treasurer.
Their hospitality and kindness will never be forgotten.
