Discourse Of Western Planting, 1584 by Richard Hakluyt
A forceful policy pamphlet urging England to establish permanent colonies in North America, arguing that planting settlements would expand trade and resources, provide naval and strategic advantages against rival powers, relieve social pressure at home, and spread Protestant influence; it combines practical proposals—recommended sites, economic opportunities (fisheries, timber, fur, and new markets), and organizational plans for merchants and investors—with moral and political arguments for royal and private support to secure long-term imperial and commercial benefits.
