The Colonising Activities of the English Puritans: The Last Phase of the Elizabethan Struggle With Spain (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Colonising Activities of the English Puritans: The Last Phase of the Elizabethan Struggle With Spain

Mr. Newton has done more than fill in our picture and set before us a new point of view. He has presented an exceedingly interesting account of a colonial settlement, hitherto almost unknown and, except in one or two features, entirely unstudied. The ample material that exists for the history of the Providence Company and its colonising ventures enables the author to deal fully with the company, its organisation, personnel, and methods; with the colony, its types of settlers, manner of settlement, forms of cultivation, staples, labour, dim oulties, quarrels, and other hindrances to success; and, lastly, with the relations between the two, government.
