Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Virginia: From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time There are but few persons in this country who have not, at some time or other, felt the want of an accurate, well written, concise, yet clear and reliable history of their own or some other state. The want here indicated is now about being sup plied; and, as the task of doing so is no light or superficial one, the publishers have given into the hands of the two gentlemen whose names appear in the title-page, the work of preparing a series of cabi net histories, embracing a volume for each state in the Union. Of their ability to perform this well, we need not speak. They are no strangers in the literary world. What they undertake the public may rest assured will be performed thoroughly, and that no sectarian, sectional, or party feelings will bias their judgment, or lead them to violate the integrity of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from King and Queen County, Virginia But the author has made great compensation for the loss of so much original information by the diligence of his research and the faithful arrangement of his findings. His pages unfold before our eyes the pioneer settlement of this territory; its subsequent formation into the political division known as a county; the orderly development of this people under the law, customs, religion, and social life of a real English community; the names of many individuals and families who have added substance, culture, dignity, and luster to a brave and refined people; the arrest and almost overthrow of this civilization by a, disastrous war; and the subse quent resumption of communal life under radically changed social and economic conditions. This narrative will be of grateful and affectionate interest to the sons and daughters of this noble old' county, and to Virginians everywhere; and, in after years, to those seeking information for a larger history of our race on these new shores.
