Book Description
Excerpt from A Sketch of the History of South Carolina: To the Close of the Proprietary Government by the Revolution of 1719 The writer of the present volume having been requested to prepare a History of South Carolina for the use of schools, entered upon the task, thinking it one of little diffi culty. But he soon found that With respect to all the early period of' our history, recourse must be had to original investigations. The materials collected in this research seemed too valuable to be lost; and it has been determined to issue the greater part of them as an Appendix, and to limit the extent of the volume (without an intention of proceeding farther) to the close of the Revolution of 1719, by Which the colonial government was changed from the lords proprietors to the king. The first six chapters and a portion of the seventh having been already composed simply With the View of preparing a textbook, nothing more is claimed for this volume than the fact that it casts some light upon the obscure and neglected period of Which it treats.
