Book Description
Excerpt from Executive Journals of the Council of Colonial Virginia, Vol. 2: August 3, 1699-April 27, 1705 Volume II of the Executive Journals of the Council of Colonial Virginia contains the journals for the period from August through April 27,1705.j It also contains the proclamations issued by the governor within that time. Since it was usual for the Council to give their advice to the governor on the subject matter of these procla mations, they may properly be considered as joint actions of the governor and the Council. Occasionally, however, when the Council was not in session and the matter was not of sufficient importance to justify the calling together of the Council specially for its discussion, the governor would issue a proclamation on his own responsibility. This was the case with the first proclamation given in this volume. Its date is July 12, 1699, before the date of the first Council session whose proceedings are given. The last date of the meetings of the Council whose proceedings appear in Vol. I of this series is June 22, 1699. There is no record of a meeting between these two dates. The gover nor evidently issued the proclamation without consulting the Council as a body, though he may have consulted individual members. When the proclamation is read, however, it is clearly seen to be of such a nature - merely giving notice of the meetings of the committee ap pointed to revise the laws and to supervise the building of the capitol, so that suggestions as to the laws might be made to it and proposals from undertakers (what we would now call contractors) - as not to require consideration of the Council as a whole. The proclamation is included for the sake of completeness in the series, and it is given the position in the book called for by its date, though that places it at the very beginning.

It examines the social restrictions on women's behaviour and speech, opportunities and difficulties these women encountered in the legal system, the economic and discretionary authority they enjoyed, the roles they played in the family business,their roles in the later, trans-Atlantic trading framework, and the imperial context within which these colonial women lived, making this a welcome addition to both colonial and women's history.
Daily Life in the Colonial South

Pages : 382
Book Description
This work examines patterns of everyday life in the colonial South from European contact to 1770, documenting how they evolved over time and differences across lines of geography, nationality, ethnicity, religion, race, gender, and class. This work provides the first synthesis of daily life in the colonial South from the time of European arrival to 1770—a period that is often overlooked or treated briefly in most surveys on the history of the South. Daily Life in the Colonial South describes how a diverse mix of people created new patterns of living, behaving, and believing across diverse and changing physical, demographic, economic, and social environments by adapting inherited cultures in new settings. The book emphasizes the everyday experiences of ordinary people from the Chesapeake Bay to the Lower Mississippi River, examining aspects of daily life such as work, families, possessions, food, leisure, bodies, and beliefs. It presents balanced coverage of English, French, Spanish, and Native American settlements, describing the lives of both men and women, and making use of quotes from historical documents. An introductory chapter profiles the colonial South at six periods set 50 years apart between 1500 and 1750, while the conclusion discusses colonial southern identities on the eve of the American Revolution.
