Book Description
While in London in 1705, Robert Beverley wrote and published The History and Present State of Virginia, one of the earliest printed English-language histories about North America by an author born there. As a native-born American-- most famously claiming "I am an Indian"-- he provided English readers with the first thoroughgoing account of the province's past, natural history, Indians, and current politics and society. In this new edition, Susan Scott Parrish situates Beverley and his History in the context of the metropolitan-provincial political and cultural issues of his day and explores the many contradictions embedded in his narrative.

Book Description
While in London in 1705, Robert Beverley wrote and published The History and Present State of Virginia, one of the earliest printed English-language histories about North America by an author born there. Like his brother-in-law William Byrd II, Beverley was a scion of Virginia's planter elite, personally ambitious and at odds with royal governors in the colony. As a native-born American--most famously claiming "I am an Indian--he provided English readers with the first thoroughgoing account of the province's past, natural history, Indians, and current politics and society. In this new edition, Susan Scott Parrish situates Beverley and his History in the context of the metropolitan-provincial political and cultural issues of his day and explores the many contradictions embedded in his narrative. Parrish's introduction and the accompanying annotation, along with a fresh transcription of the 1705 publication and a more comprehensive comparison of emendations in the 1722 edition, will open Beverley's History to new, twenty-first-century readings by students of transatlantic history, colonialism, natural science, literature, and ethnohistory.

Book Description
Excerpt from Considerations on the Present State of Virginia: Attributed to John Randolph, Attorney General; And Considerations on the Present State of Virginia Examined The two pamphlets reprinted in this volume were issued anonymously in 1774. On the title page of the first there has been written by a contemporary hand By John Randolph esq. His majes. Attorney gen]. Of that colony brother to the speaker of the ho. Of assem bly who is chairman at the general congress held at Philadelphia. The only copy I have been able to find is in the New York Public Library. There is nothing in the pamphlet that discloses the author to a certainty. There is strong presumptive evidence, however, that John Randolph was the writer; for he is referred to by Nicholas in the second pamphlet as being one who was in attendance at one or more courts of the colony,1 and again2 as a member of the House of Burgesses who was present when the bill appointing a day for a fast was adopted.
