Excerpt from Historical Notes of the American Colonies and Revolution, From 1754 to 1775 The following Historical Notes of the American Colonies were compiled by the late william griffith, Esq., of New Jersey, and were designed as an Introduction to his law register. They were printed in his life time, and left incomplete, in the state in which they are now published. It is to be regretted that he had not completed them. Under a belief, however, that they contain much useful information, and that the labors bestowed upon them may not be lost, they are now offered to the public. A History of the United States upon the plan of which he speaks in his preface, would be a most valuable Work, in the accomplishment of which, the following Notes might afford to the author considerable aid.

Excerpt from The American Revolution as an Aftermath of the Great War for the Empire, 1754-1763 Indeed, while British historians at length were led to adopt the nomenclature applied by German and other continental historians to all hostilities that took place between 1754 and 1763 in both the Old and New Worlds, American historians, by and large in the past, have rejected, and rightly so, it seems, the name the Seven Years' War to designate specifically the struggle during these years in North America with the fate of that continent at stake; so likewise many of them have rejected, as equally inadmissible, the name the French and Indian War Instead, the late Professor Osgood employed the title the Fourth Intercolonial War surely not a good one; George Bancroft called the war the American Revolution: First Phase still more inaccurate in some respects than the names he sought to avoid; Francis Parkman, with the are of a romanti cist, was at first inclined to call it the Old French War but finally, under the in uence of the great-man-in-history thesis, gave to his two remarkable volumes concerned with it the totally misleading name, Montcalm and Wolfe; finally, John Fiske, the philosopher-historian, as luminous in his views as he was apt to be careless in the details of historical scholarship, happily fastened upon the name the Great War. In the series on the British Empire before the American Revolution the writer has built upon Fiske's title and has called it the Great War for the Empire in order to emphasize not only the fact that the war was a very' great con ict both in its scope and in its lasting effects, as Fiske saw it with clearness, but also, as a war entered into specifically for the defense of the British Em pire, that it was by far the most important ever waged by Great Britain to this end.
