Economic History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century (Classic Reprint)

In studying the history of the Viiginifm people in the BBT enteenth century, apart from the course of events, it will be found that the general subject falls onder the following heads: I. Economic Condition. II. Social Life. III. Religious Establishment and Moral I nfluences. IV. Education. V. Military Regulations. VI. Administration of Justice. VII. Political System. By following in minute detail the Tarious ramifications of each of these special subjects, some offering a I nxtader field for treatment than others, a perfectly comfdete account might be written of the state of the people of the Colony in that age. In the present work, I have confined myself very strictly to an investigation of their economic condition alone. Where this has encroached upon the boundary of any of the other divisions which I have named, I have, except in a few instances, refrained from pursuing the subject beyond tat point. Thus, no references have been made to printing in Vtiinia in the seventeenth century and the degree to which books entered into the inT entories of the planters estates, because such references, it appeared, woiild more properly come under the head of Edacation.
