Colonial British America

“Taken together, these essays constitute a better summing up-part critique, part appreciation-than anything else in print of work done in any field of American history. Nowhere else can we learn so easily and so well what to read about colonial America…A very useful volume of considerable distinction”.-William Abbott, editor, “The Papers of George Washington”.
