Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Colonies in the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 3 With the publication of the present volume the pledge made three years ago is redeemed, and the treatment of the seventeenth century as contemplated in the plan of this work is completed. The volume will be found to contain both more and less than a history of British colonial administration in America during the period under review. It contains more than this, because an effort has been made to trace the internal development of Virginia during a large part of the century, and special attention has been given to domestic relations in the other royal provinces as in succession they appeared. The history of the royal provinces is more than a history of imperial administration, though the two are closely interwoven; and in tracing it the author should never forget that he is still standing upon American soil. His outlook is broader than it was when he was considering the chartered colonies, but it is not radically different. The book contains less than a history of British colonial administration, because the island colonies, with Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, are for the most part left out of account. In the opinion of the British merchant and official the island colonies and the northernmost dominions appeared to be the most important. Their affairs received proportionally greater attention than did those of the intermediate continental colonies; their trade was more valuable to Great Britain and came far less directly into competition with British industry than did the trade of the northern colonies. From this comparative estimate proceeded a course of development which had not a little to do with the revolt of the continental colonies and their independence at the end.
