Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representation in Virginia By a charter dated April 10, 1606, James I authorized the settlement of two colonies in the territory of Virginia. Each colony was to have a resident council Of thirteen to govern according to the laws and ordinances constituted by the king. In addition to these, there was to be one supreme council in England having control, under the supervision of the king, of the government of the two colonies.' Following this charter, on November 20, 1 606, James issued the articles Of government for the two colonies.2 These were the laws by which the colonies were to be governed. James appointed the Council Of Virginia (the council residing in England), granting it no power or authority except at his pleasure and will. It was simply to have the power to appoint the subordinate councils that were to reside in Virginia, and to give directions for the governing of the same. The king reserved to himself the right to change, alter, or abolish the council. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This arose from natural causes. Both races were vigorous offshoots of the same English stock, arrived first in point of time, and impressed their characteristics on the younger societies springing up around them. Each was dominant in its section. New England controlled the North from the Atlantic to the Lakes, and Virginia the South, to the Mississippi.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Negro in the Reconstruction of Virginia This work in the study of the Negro in the reconstruction of Virginia, like that of a similar study of South Carolina, was made possible by a research grant from Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial. The Negro in South Carolina during the Reconstruction has made us think. In a review of this work, Prof. Carl Russell Fish said: The book in its totality is convincing in its thesis that the story of reconstruction is not yet told. This thought has been expressed also by other historians who have read this treatise. In this treatment of The Negro in the Reconstruction of Virginia, the author has also rendered a valuable service, if he has done nothing more than to direct attention to other neglected aspects of this period.

It' made such an impression on my mind that I could not resist the impulse to lay aside the text on which I intended to preach, and to deliver an extempore discourse, from Isaiah 40th, and 6th, And the voice said, Cry.

Download or read book Virginia Declaration of Rights and Cardinal Bellarmine Classic Reprint written by Gaillard Hunt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia Declaration of Rights and Cardinal Bellarmine In 1776 men were discussing these things and also the theory of government itself. Some of them had decided that it was a contract between the governed and the governors; others believed all power belonged to the people; others were content to trace its origin to the family relation, and others thought that rulers derived their right to rule from the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. In the beginning of the settlement of America these questions were not of practical importance, for pioneers in a wilderness had only problems of personal government to deal with. Questions of liberty did not obtrude themselves upon men who could go at will through a boundless country and make their homes wherever they pleased. The Jamestown court book, which begins in 1622 and is the earliest government record of the English occupation, shows this, for the chief function of the government was to punish small offences against law and order, and wrongs committed by one man against another. A hundred years later, however, governmental conditions had become more complex, the country having passed the earliest pioneer stage, having increased greatly in population and having become valuable to the nation which owned it. When that nation began to restrain its American subjects, to exercise authority over them and to tax them, neglected theories of government were revived and they began to study them with a practical object in view. They felt that they were ill-used, and read and discussed so as to give form to their grievances. Ready at hand was the classic literature of Athens and Rome which all educated men knew fairly well. The civilization of those states was understood and entered into the daily thought of the time. When the Americans came to create governments of their own they adapted to their use some of the institutions and nomenclature of the classical period. It would be beyond the scope of this article, however, to try to find the classical spring of the thoughts which were in the mind of George Mason when he wrote the Declaration of Rights and of Thomas Jefferson when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, nor is it necessary to do so, for their immediate inspiration came from more modern sources.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Henry Ruffner, Reconstruction Statesman of Virginia The year 1920 marked the semi-centennial Of the opening Of the public schools in Virginia under the administration Of William Henry Ruffner. In 1870 as now the problems Of the' day were problems Of reconstruction. Since 1861 Virginia had seen both conquest and revolution. The new constitution and the special covenant under which the state had just re turned to the Union constituted in effect a treaty, the intent Of which was to-render secure the results Of the conquest and to fortify the processes Of the revolution.1 Most significant among the treaty's terms, to which effect had to be given through laws, institutions and customs, were the provisions for public education and the plan for protecting and develop ing an inferior race through education and suffrage. The story Of the working Of the suffrage provision is one Of dismal failure. That the educational experiment proved a blessing to both races was due primarily to William Henry Rufi'ner, the Horace Mann Of the South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Makers of Virginia Virginian history. F oranthentic information as to the proceedings of the Virginia Company during the eventful eighteen years of its chartered life, divided into the Guelf and Ghibelline periods of the Thomas Smith and the sandys-southampton regimes, the historical student will turn to the Records of the Company, sumptuously edited from the Manuscript in the Library of Congress, which they had reached by a strange Odyssey, after being transcribed in just apprehension of the danger menacing them by the far-sighted care of Nicholas Ferrar; the Ferrar papers at Magdalene College, Cambridge; and the Manchester papers in the Public Record Office. Miss Kingsbury's monumental edition is prefaced by Professor Osgood, whose own American Colonies in the Seventeenth Century may claim to be considered a standard work in the entire subject of which my address to-night only touches a section while Mr. Newton's admirably written Colonising Activities of the English Puritans treats its final phase (the history of the Providence Company). On the other hand, Professor W. R. Scott's remarkable work on British Joint Stock Companies, though ranging over a far wider field than we have at present in contemplation, and conducting an exceedingly complex inquiry with close attention to the varying conditions of its several parts, discusses that section of it which concerns the Virginia Company with masterly conciseness, and may serve as a welcome guide through more discursive methods of treatment. As to the general bearing of this chapter of colonial upon the progress of English political life in general, Gardiner's standard work, to which I like to appeal in these walls, and which has just undergone the test of a searching critical estimate from an able American pen, is not likely to be left neglected.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official Virginia: A Composition of Sketches of the Public Men of Virginia at the Present Time About thirty years ago, it was the good fortune of this writer to be employed in the capacity of a confidential clerk by a gentleman whose ability was recognized all over the State. He had a head two stories and a half high, with a large attic on top, and was possessed of a master mind very little short of the first order of greatness. This man began life a very poor boy, and yet by dint of energy and intellect long before the war, had risen to eminence as well as competency. When the clouds of war were gathering in 1860 and Virginia was alarmed like all her other sister Southern states as to the outcome of Mr. Lincoln's election, he was chosen a member of a convention which will go down in history as the Secession Convention. In that body he ranked with such intellectual giants as Barbour, Baldwin, Alexander, H. H. Stuart, and others. He was a Union man when he went to the Convention and so remained until Mr. Lincoln issued his proclamation calling on Virginia to furnish her quota of troops to coerce her sister Southern states. Like every other Union man from the South, he then cast his lot with his section. When the war ended and his State was beneath the heel of the carpet-bagger and the scalawag, Virginia, in order to come back into the Union on a constitutional basis, selected this gentleman, Mr. Stuart, Mr. Barbour and Mr. Baldwin to visit Washington and interview President Grant in order to obtain his consent for Virginia to resume her rightful place once more in the Union. They succeeded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
