Dr. Robertfon's History of •
(BRITISH)
AMERICA,
"" . Containing
The history of Virginia to the year l6Bj, and the '
history of New-England to the year 1652, be
ing -what the Do&or had completed pre
vious to hii death. It has lately been
given to the public with a pre
face by his son at Edin
burgh, has already patt
ed through three or
four editions, and
hasbeen transla
ted and pub
lilhed in
French at Paris.
Mr. Robertfqn in his preface ohferves,
« During the course of tedious illness, which he
■early forefaw would have a fatal termination, Dr.
Rabertl'on at different times destroyed many of his
papers: But after his . 4 cath, I found that part o
the History ofj[Britifh) America which he had
wrote many years before, and which is now offer
ed to the public. It is writterfVith his own hand
as all his works were ; it is as carefully correited
as any part of his inanufcripts which I have ever
fcen ; and he bad thought it worthy of being pre
served, asi; cfcaped the flames to which so many
other papers had keen committed. I read it with
the utmolt attention; but, t efore I came to any
resolution about the publication, I put the MSS.
into the hands of fonie ol those friends whom my
father used to consult on such otcafions.as it would
have been rafhnefsand presumption in me, to have
trutled to my own partial ccifien. It was perof
ed by f >me other persons also, in whofc taste and
judgment I have the greatcft confidence : by all of
them I was encouraged to offer it to the public, as
curious aud imereding in itfelf, and not inferior to
any of my father's other works."
The Editor of the Paris Edition apcjlropbizes
the above ivork in the following manner.
" Every thing ensures fuecefs to this volume
the talents and rt putation of the author, and the
imprefTionflill recent in the minds|ol all who have
read the excellent work of which this is the com
pletion—all conspire to give it an extensive spread.
I he hittory of America was the mafler-piece of one
of the two ablest, or rather one of the two only
modern historians. He has created this part of
history, diftinguiflied this chaos of the New World,
distinguished with the hand of a matter the part of
genius, fortune, courage and crime, and conquer
ed as it were, America, for literary, commercial,
and political Europe.
" To ensure this last volume circuhtion, it is
neceflary only to name its author, and to remark,
it possesses all that acutcnefs of observation, that
petfpicuity of exposition, the art of referring ef
fefls to causes, and of mingling with the account
of events, the wholefomeS and irtoft approved
priciples of morals and politics, for which this
writor was so eminent!} confpicuous—ln Ihort,
that it exhibits the talents of Robe ktson •"
