Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Discourse Delivered Before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, on the Colonial History of the Eastern and Some of the Southern States
This subject may be considered upon a casual view, as out of the legitimate pale of the researches and speculations of a state historical society. But Iam invited to' its discus sion by its intimate connexion with the topics of my former Discourse, and by the relation it bears to the whole subject of our domestic history. If any apology is necessary for leaving the beaten track of Pennsylvania annals, it is to be found in the recent amendment to the Constitution of the Society, which Widens the circle of our investigations so as to include the transactions of the sister states and foreign countries.
