Patrician and Plebeian: Or The Origin and Development of the Social Classes of the Old Dominion
Wertenbaker, Thomas Jefferson
Virginia -- History -- Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775; Virginia -- Social life and customs -- To 1775
Stanard, Mary Newton.--The Story of Bacon's Rebellion. The Neale
Publishing Co., 1907. One volume. The authoress has had before
her in this work the general interest that attaches to the
picturesque subject and has written in a light and pleasing
style, No deep analysis of the causes and results of the
Rebellion are given, but the reader has the feeling throughout
that the facts presented have been gathered with great care and
that the narrative is as accurate as labor and research can make
it.
Stanard, William G. and Mary Newton.--The Colonial Virginia
Register. Joel Munsell's Sons, Albany, 1902. This work contains
the names of the Governors of Virginia in the Colonial Period,
the Secretaries of State, the Auditors General, the Receivers
General, the Treasurers, the Attorneys General, the Surveyors
General, the Council members, the members of the House of
Burgesses and the members of the Conventions of 1775 and 1776.
Stith, William.--The History of the First Discovery and Settlement
of Virginia. William Parks, Williamsburg, 1747. Stith had in the
preparation of this work access to some manuscripts which are
not now in existence. For this reason the work will retain a
certain value as a source book of Virginia history. In the main,
however, he follows Smith's story with servility, for it did not
occur to him that much of the latter was not trustworthy. Stith
takes his history no further than the year 1624.
The Lower Norfolk County Virginia Antiquary. Press of the
Friedenwald Co., Baltimore. Five volumes. This magazine has
rendered a true service to Virginia history by publishing many
valuable documents hitherto hidden or inaccessible. These papers
touch Virginia life in the Colonial Period in many phases and
throw light on points hitherto obscure or misunderstood.
The Southern Literary Messenger.--In 1845 and in the years
immediately following, this magazine, stimulated by the great
interest that was being shown in Virginia history at that time,
published a number of documents and articles relating to
colonial times. Among these is a reproduction of John Smith's
True Relation; papers relating to Sir William Berkeley,
contributed by Peter Force; and an account of the General
Assembly of 1715.
