Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of the original publication of this volume, no book with the exception of Robert Beverly's History of Virginia had really dealt with the social aspects of seventeenth century Virginia. And Beverly's history, while full of details, really relates to the last years of the seventeenth century and the first years of the eighteenth century. Because of the non-existence of travel memoirs, or extended biographies of prominent citizens or any other obvious sources, the author, to acquire an accurate conception of Virginian social life from 1607 to 1700, examined a large mass of miscellaneous materials primarily concerned with other subjects including the pamphlets preserved in Force's Historical Tracts, Virginian parish registers, and the several hundred volumes of Virginia's county records that had survived to 1907. There are chapters exploring such topics as size and population, the origins of the higher planting class, social distinctions, ties with the mother country, manner of life, hospitality of the people, drinking, dancing, acting, games, horse-racing, hunting, fishing, funerals, weddings, church, court day, muster, dueling and others. There is also an appendix dealing with the non-English settlers and their influence. The author's premise that the most remarkable feature of seventeenth century Virginia social life was its resemblance to the social life of England is explored in great detail throughout. Anyone interested in early Virginia customs and habits will find this social history both enjoyable and informative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Life of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century: An Inquiry Into the Origin of the Higher Planting Class, Together With an Account of the Habits, Customs, and Diversions of the People London, and above all, the several hundred volumes of the Virginian county records of the seventeenth cen tury, which still survive. These are the chief, al though not the only, sources of information; and to these, as well as to all other sources known to me, I have had access in person, with a view to the prepa ration of the present volume. In one particular alone have I been compelled to rely on the Special researches of others. The knowledge of American genealogy in general, as so far accumulated, is chie y the result of the labors of students who re spectively have devoted many years, - in some in stances, indeed, a lifetime, - to the investigation of the history of a single family in all its ramifications. This is as true of those who have pursued their inquiries in the field of Virginia Genealogy as of those who have pursued their inquiries in the field of New Eng land or New York. It is only: quite recently that the study of Virginian family history has been carried on in a thoroughly scientific spirit, but we have already secured, by the zeal and industry of scholars so well known in this department of research as Alexander Brown, Rev, Philip Slaughter, Rev. Horace E. Hay den, Charles P. Keith, Edward Wilson James, William G. Stanard, Lyon G. Tyler, and others who might be named, a great volume of trustworthy genealogical information, which, when considered as a whole, throws a decisive 'light on the origin of the higher planting class of Virginia in the seventeenth century.
