John McCusker
"The impressive range and depth of these essays does not obscure
McCusker's central concern with colonial British America in an
Atlantic world. All those interested in this burgeoning field will
also welcome his updated "Guides to Primary Sources for the History
of Early British America" which opens this volume, and the
invaluable seventy-seven page multilingual bibliography of
manuscripts, printed primary sources, and relevant scholarship
which concludes this well-indexed volume."
