Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Calendar of Virginia State Papers and Other Manuscripts<br/><br/>The index, which has been prepared by the writer, it may be assumed, will not only prove to be useful, but indispensable. That this volume is a valuable contribution to American history will be readily seen. Indeed, no full and reliable history of Virginia and the United States can be written without a resort to these historical papers. The value of a work like this, depends on the degree of its accuracy. The perfect work demands the exact reproduction of the originals or their sub stance. Ordinarily there is no test of this requirement but time. In this case, in addition to the name of the editor, the critical revision to which this volume has been subjected, justifies the writer in pronouncing it exceptionally accurate. The publication of this volume will, it is hoped, prove the value of these papers, and thus cause the speedy publication of the remaining part of the Calendar.
