This is to acknowledge the sources for the following illustrations:
Methods of Transporting Tobacco to Market and Plantation Tobacco Houses
and Public Warehouses--William Tatham, _An Historical and Practical
Essay on the Culture and Commerce of Tobacco_, London, 1800; An Old
Tobacco Warehouse--courtesy of Mrs. H. I. Worthington, Directress of
the Ralph Wormeley Branch of the Association for the Preservation of
Virginia Antiquities, Syringa, Virginia; Tobacco cultivated by the
Indians and Tobacco imported from the West Indies--these two pictures
were reproduced by permission of George Arents and courtesy of the
Virginia State Library. The pictures were found originally in _Tobacco;
Its History Illustrated by the Books, Manuscripts and Engravings in the
Library of George Arents, Jr., together with an Introductory Essay, a
Glossary and Bibliographic Notes_, by Jerome E. Brooks, Volume 1, (The
Rosenbach Company, New York, 1937). However, the two pictures in this
pamphlet were reproduced from _Virginia Cavalcade_, by courtesy of the
Virginia State Library.
I am also grateful to Dr. E. G. Swem for his critical reading of the
manuscript and his helpful suggestions, and to my wife for her
proficient typing of the manuscript.
