Synopsis
Excerpt from A True Discourse of the Present State of Virginia
These boys would certainly have gone to Merchant Tay lors' School, where Edmund Spenser preceded them a gen cration earlier. It seems that Ralph went on to Oxford for a short spell, for a Ralph Hamor of London was admitted to Brasenose College in 1605, matriculated in 1606 at the age of seventeen and left without taking a degree. But the Latinized prose of the True Discourse is that of an educated man and I feel sure that this Ralph Hamor is our man. He refers to himself in the tract, written in 1614, as young in years and knowledge, and this would make him the not im probable age of twenty-five at that time.
