A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The tracing of the Buccesfidve steps of the English colonization of North A merica, during the seventeenth century, is the object of the following chapters. The writer has careftdly searched for facts, in the manuscript transactions, of the great London trading company, under whose auspices the first colonists were despatched, and in other original documents. Those acquainted with the standard historians of A merica, will find in this volume, statements contradictory of the assertions of Robertson, and other eminent writers. Myths creep into history, as noiselessly as book-worms between the leaves of an old volume, and it is as difficult to dislodge the former, as the latter.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
