Description
Excerpt from The Genesis of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2: A Narrative of the Movement in England, 1605-1616, Which Resulted in the Plantation of North America by Englishmen, Disclosing the Contest Between England and Spain for the Possession of the Soil Now Occupied by the United States of America
America, for during the foundation period of which I 0, write, the colonies were really dependent on the companies in England. I endeavor to give as complete an idea (narrative, evidence, biography, and illus tration) as is now possible of the movement (1605 in England, which resulted in the plantation of North America by Englishmen. And although I express my opinion sometimes, it is my special desire to furnish the reader with the means of forming his own opinion regard less of mine, and to present this means in such form as will enable him to do so readily and correctly. With these ob jects in view I have adopted the following method First, I give an introductory sketch of what had been done by Englishmen in the way of discovery and col onization, prior to 1606, for the purpose of showing the motives and the guides which governed the Virginia com panies when they first undertook to plant colonies in Amer ica. Then locating the narrative in London (because that city was the chief basis of Opera tions), I aim to enable the reader to see the events as nearly as possible as they developed at that time, by presenting the Them evidence (the letters, broadsides, in the course den of the narrative as nearly as possible in the same order of time that it was presented to those then interested in the enterprise.
