MoreExcerpt from New Jersey as a Royal Province, 1738 to 1776With the publication of this monograph, there is completed a detailed study of the colonial history of New Jersey. Dr. Tanners exhaustive and admirable treat ment of the subject comprises the period from the early settlements to 1738, when the executive union with New York was terminated. From that time until the Revo lution, the compass of this study, New Jersey enjoyed a separate royal establishment in all departments. The purpose of this work is twofold. An attempt has been made, first, to outline the political history of the prov ince, and, second, to show the part taken by New Jersey in the Third and Fourth Intercolonial Wars and in the preliminaries of the Revolution. The subject has been pursued to the threshold of the convention which for mally declared the overthrow of the royal provincial government and adopted the first constitution of the state.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
