The American Colonies In The Seventeenth Century Volume III Imperial Control. Beginnings Of The System Of Royal Provinces

Excerpt from The American Colonies in the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 1 The author is fully aware that the attempt to analyze and compare the institutions of fifteen colonies, and to trace their political history, even in part, during a period of half a. Century or more, is a work of some complexity. In his effort to do this he has limited himself, in nearly all in stances, to the seventeenth century and to the material which was accessible for that period of time. This it was necessary to do in order to show what the governmental system was before the transition from the chartered colonies to the system of royal provinces occurred.

The American Colonies in the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Forgotten Books

Excerpt from The American Colonies in the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 3 British system of control. In the present volume an at tempt has for the first the been made to trace the history of this control as a distinct and separate feature of coloniza tion. Attention has been directed to the organs through which it was exercised, to the objects and ideals which were pursued, and to the obstacles which prevented their attain ment. The early stage of development only has been traced; the heart of the subject has been reached. If the inquiry can be pursued through the period of the French wars, and the processes of control as applied to the royal provinces be revealed, a body of precedent will be collected and a point of view attained, in the light of which the events of the colonial revolt will appear in their proper relief. For valuable suggestions in reference to the commercial policy of England, I am indebted to Mr. George Louis Beer. The preparation of the manuscript for the press has been greatly facilitated by the assistance of my wife.
