Surrounding it, and including the historic site of the settlement, is a larger tract owned by the association, comprising two hiindred and forty acres of rolling land.
"The use of tobacco," writes the president of the association, "was first introduced into Great Britain by Sir Walter, after the re- turn of the first of his colonists from Roan- oke Island. To him and to his colonists the Anglo-American users of tobacco are indebted for the privilege of indtilging in their favorite 'weed,' and a
... great part of the world at large for a vegetable product valuable as an article of commerce. In con- sideration, therefore, of what they owe to Sir Walter, it was asked that all who used and dealt in tobacco contribute a small siun — the value at least of two or three cigars — according to their means, to be devoted to the erection of memorials, at the place in the United States where tobacco was first dis- covered, to Sir Walter Raleigh, who made 87 SIR WALTER RALEIGH known its use, and to his colonists who perished here." It was certainly fit and proper that those who had derived enjoyment from the use of tobacco should erect a monument to the individual who, though he did not discover it, greatly promoted the habit which has since become universally diffused through- out the world.
