Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Georgia, Vol. 2 of 2: From Its First Discovery by Europeans to the Adoption of the Present Constitution in 1798
The delay, however, has not been without its bene fits. It has enabled me to bring to my pleasing task greater historic materials, and a more matured judg ment; and thus, perhaps, I have written with more soberness, accuracy, and propriety than I should have done had I finished the work ten years earlier. As the volume has been written mostly from manu script materials, and as I have but rarely based my statements on the authority of published works, I have deemed it unnecessary to specify every source from which the body of the text is derived, especially as they could not be referred to by the general reader. In the preparation of this History I have had access to the Manuscripts and printed Journals of the Governors, and Committees of the Council of Safety, the Provincial Congress, the Executive Council, the two Houses of the Assembly, the Conventions of the State, the Meetings of Indian Commissioners, and other public bodies.
