Mr.. Henry VIII Discuss John Smith and
the Story of jamestown.

On Friday evening. at the Hall Of the
House of Delegates. Hon. William Writ
Henry will deliver lecture on John
Smith and the Story OF Jamestown"
This will be the second in the interesting
course Of historical lectures being given
by the Association for the Preservation
of Virginia Antiquities.
The association is most happy In being
able to secure Mr.. Henry for this lecture.
There Is no one living who has made
more thorough study Of the subject, or
who is better prepared to do 1t full JUS
tice.
Just now, when there have been so
many attempts to divest the heroic char
acter OF John Smith of every vestige OF
its greatness, II Is we'll to have this subs
ject presented by one who knows where's
of he speaks, and who can show how
much this great country owes to Captain
Smith and to jamestown.
II was at first intended that these lee
lures should be given at the rooms OF tho
Historical Society, but IL was afterwards
thought wiser to have them in moro
spacious house. At the opening lecture
OF the series (by Professor Thom) the
Hall of the House of Delegates was
packed with representative Richmond
people, and there is every indication that
an equally large and brilliant audience

charge OF admission TO this lecture

Association for the Preservation of Vir-
ginia Antiquities to students OF Virginia
history In Richmond.
