Executive Journals Of The Council Of Colonial Virginia (Volume Ii) August 3, 1699-April 27-1705
Overview
Power, policy, and daily governance in colonial Virginia, captured at the very moment of decision. These are not later recollections but the executive council journals themselves, among the most vivid colonial Virginia primary sources, written as events unfolded between 1699 and 1705. History speaks in plain ink. Edited by H. R. McIlwaine, Executive Journals Of The Council Of Colonial Virginia (Volume II) August 3, 1699-April 27, 1705 forms a cornerstone of the Virginia colonial records collection. In these colonial council proceedings appear orders, proclamations, petitions, and debates that reveal how British colonial governance Virginia operated in practice, how early Virginia legislation records were framed, and how authority was negotiated with the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Crown. Covering the critical years of colonial Virginia 1699-1705, this meticulously prepared primary source collection for scholars is equally compelling for general readers seeking an unfiltered view into the politics, law, and society of early colonial America history, and for anyone building a serious library of records of colonial America and other documentary classics. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, presented as a durable historical research reference volume that repays close study and invites repeated consultation by historians, students, genealogists, and classic-literature collectors alike.
