Excerpt from Political Annals of the Present United Colonies, From Their Settlement to the Peace of 1763, Vol. 1: Compiled Chiefly From Records, and Authorised Often by the Insertion of State-Papers If universal history be an agreeable subject, because a natural curiosity is gratified, the annals of no portion of the empire of which we are members can be deemed unworthy of regard, since useful information is acquired. By investigating the causes that have induced men to consider different systems as either expedient or unwise, we acquire knowledge from the experience of others: By inquiring into those circumstances, which display the nature of original institutions, which trace the progress of laws, historic relations become subservient to the purposes of legislation. What can be more important to a people, who are all legislators, because they claim it as their distinguishing prerogative, to vote in the national legislature. Yet, while the history of Great-Britain and Ireland has been cultivated with the greatest attention, and the jurisprudence and connexion of both have been illustrated with the greatest success, the annals of that considerable part of the empire, the British colonies, have been hitherto resigned to neglect as unworthy of notice. When men of genius, indeed, turned their views to this subject they immediately encountered difficulties which no talents or industry could remove: The records and state-papers were discovered to be on different sides of the Atlantic; no regular collection of their laws had been yet published; the other materials were found of a nature dry and dissatisfactory: And, till the war, which was ended by the peace of 1763, the plantations, deemed only inconsiderable and distant parcels of an extensive empire, had remained extremely obscure, offering little celebrity to their historian. But the confederated provinces have lately demanded the notice of the world with uncommon success, because what is boldly asked is seldom refused.
