Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the English Colonies in America The history of the thirteen American colonies is at best fragmentary and provincial, and does not assume the importance and value of the history of a nation until the meeting of the Stamp Act Congress at New York in the year 1765. But who and what the people were who fought the war for Independence and founded the United States - what was their life, what their habits, thoughts, and manners - seemed to me, when I began my study of American history, questions of the deepest interest. They were questions, too, which appeared to me never to have been answered in a compact and comprehensive form; and this volume is an attempt to supply the deficiency. The chapters, therefore, which purport to describe the various colonies in and about the year 1765 represent the purpose of the book. They have been worked out, in the course of several years, from a mass of material which has been collected in all directions, and which, although wholly in print, is in many cases as generally unknown as if it still slumbered in manuscript. To these chapters I have appended notes - mere references - partly to support conclusions which I thought might be questioned, and partly to aid other students in the same field. The notes represent, however, only a portion of the books, tracts, and newspapers actually consulted. There are many titles in my note-books of works which yielded nothing, and of others again which offered matter that had to be laid aside from mere superabundance of material: only the most valuable and important figure in the notes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Colonies in America, Vol. 4: The Middle Colonies This volume is the fourth of the series, three of which appeared some time ago, under the title of "English Colonies in America." It brings the history of the Middle Colonies down to the point where I left that of the Northern and Southern, i.e. the accession of the House of Hanover. A fifth volume, "The Colonies under the House of Hanover," which is published at the same time as this, deals collectively with the whole body of colonies from that date down to the beginning of those disputes which ended in separation from the Mother Country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English in America, Vol. 1: The Puritan Colonies IN the history of the English colonies in America we can trace the operation of two forces, which, to borrow the language Of physics, may be called centrifugal and centripetal. The colonies were kept apart by variety Of climate, and therefore of occupation and interest. At the same time community Of origin and of political traditions, the need for mutual help, and still more for some uniform system of commercial administration, tended to draw the settlements together and to lay the foundation for national unity. SO far we have been almost exclusively concerned with the separate life and conflicting interests Of the Southern plantations. Only here and there do we catch a faint glimpse of some half-conscious aspiration after unity.l But when we pass to the Northern settlements, we are at once brought face to face with those ideas and principles which at a later day served to weld the colonies into one commonwealth. Nor is that all. The scenes which are now coming before us actually display the tendency towards union at work. In the Federation of the New England colonies we see the germ and the foreshadow ing of the United Republic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Colonies in America, Vol. 5: The Colonies Under the House of Hanover As was said at the end of the work which precedes this, the accession of George I. forms a convenient landmark in colonial history. The more closely one studies history the more fully is the conviction borne in on one that all divisions into epochs and the like have in their nature something arbitrary. Communities do not undergo sudden changes any more than individuals do. As soon as minute inquiry begins, vestiges of the past, anticipations of the future, meet one at every turn. Yet with the community, as with the individual, the predominance of certain leading characteristics at successive stages of growth gives enough distinctness to serve as a basis for a convenient, though not a scientific, arrangement of facts. Speaking roughly, we may say that for the whole body of English-speaking colonies on the Atlantic the end of the seventeenth century was the point at which the era of formation ended and the era of fruition and repose began.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Colonies, Vol. 1: 1583-1763 This book is in no sense a history of the English people in their own island. The home life of our country, both before and after the foundation of the colonies and pro tectorates, has been adequately treated by a host of previous writers the colonial field, on the contrary, remains almost untracked, or marked out only in portions, by men who have written with different aims, seen events from different points of view, sketched in different perspective and painted without reference to the relative importance of their small foreground to the rest of the landscape. It has seemed to me that the whole of our imperial career, as it has sprung from one small group of islands, so it can best be treated as one series of connected events - to use a well-worn simile, as a drama which, though its various acts take place in every con tinent and on every ocean, still preserves the fundamental unity that even the constant shifting of the scene does not obscure. The present work is an attempt to carry out that idea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Thirteen Colonies of North America: 1497-1763 It has been my object in this small book to put into a handy form a short narrative of the History of the Thirteen Colonies. In the limited space at my command I have endeavoured to give as often as possible the actual words of contemporaries, hoping that the reader may thereby be tempted to search further for himself amongst the mass of documentary evidence which still needs so much careful study. I cannot send this book into the world without acknowledging my indebtedness to both the Beit Professor of Colonial History, Mr H. E. Egerton, and the Beit Lecturer on Colonial History, Mr W. L. Grant, whose kind suggestions have proved most valuable. At the same time I must thank Mr E. L. S. Horsburgh, for by his action the writing of this little work was made possible.
