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

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.
