Excerpt from The English in America: Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas The subject is one on which I have already written, and I have in some measure incorporated with this book the substance of two smaller works of my own. I have, I think, in my notes sufficiently indicated the nature of my material and the sources from which it is obtained. I must not omit to acknowledge the unfailing kindness and courtesy which I have received from the officials in the Public Record Office, and, above all, the invaluable and ever-ready help given to me by Mr. Noel Sainsbury.
