"The present printed text ... was transcribed from ... [a] copy of the work believed to be the only surviving version, that ... came to light in the library of the Virginia Historical Society after the Civil War."
"Much of the early part of the work consists of passages taken more or less verbatim from William Stith's History of Virginia ... The editor has also added those portions of John Marshall's Life of Washington and David Hume's History of England that Randolph clearly intended to include."
