The Provincial Committees of Safety of the American Revolution (Large Print Edition)

The present work comprises five chapters. In the first three the committee or councils of safety in the New England, the middle, and the southern colonies respectively are dealt with; the fourth presents a general view of the charatcer and work of these bodies; while the fifth and last seeks their origin in preceding English and colonial experience. The investigation rests almost wholly upon the sources; and the result is thoroughly enllightening for many important questions with the struggle for independence. AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW Illus.
