Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America, Vol. 1 of 2 IN the general sequence of my volumes on American history, the present work comes next after The Beginnings of New England, which in turn comes next after Old Virginia and Her Neighbours. It will be observed that these books leave the history of New England at the overthrow of James II., while they carry that of the southern and middle colonies, with some diminution of de tails, into the reigns of the first two Georges. It is my purpose, in my next book, to deal with the rise and fall of New France, and the development of the English colonies as influenced by the pro longed struggle with that troublesome and danger ous neighbour. With this end in view, the history of New England must be taken up where the earlier book dropped it, and the history of New York resumed at about the same time, while by degrees we shall find the histories of Pennsylvania and the colonies to the south of it swept into the main stream of Continental history. That book will come down to the year 1765, which witnessed the ringing out of the old and the ringing in ofthe new, the one with Pontiac's War the other with the Stamp Act. I hope to have it ready in about two years from now. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Dear Hannah A Collection of Letters Depicting Quaker Life in Rural Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1850 1860 written by C. B. Frederick and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of 145 letters written to Hannah Fells Wilson Roberts from 35 correspondents, containing over 1,000 unique family names, written between 1850 and 1860, and transcribed with original spellings and annotated markings by C. B. Frederick. They tell the story of Quaker life in rural counties near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These letters reveal the local history of Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties and the increasingly dominant trend of women's participation in the pre-Civil War society. Hannah Fells Wilson was born in 1828 to George Maris Wilson (1780-1866) and Sarah Fells Schofield (1802-1866) and raised in Gwynedd, Montgomery County. The letters end the year after her marriage to Guy Roberts in 1859. Of special interest are letters from Martha Schofield, who would later found the first school for black boys in South Carolina in 1868, although that endeavor is not mentioned in this collection.
