PERSONAL COMMENTS.
I cannot tell how greatly I value the "Economic History of Virginia In
the Seventeenth Century," not only for its historical information, but that it is
given in such well-rounded, valuable literary shape. What such a book means
and will prove to future students cannot now be estimated. I have always
felt baffled by my lack of real knowledge of the Virginia Colony. Now I
know it.
—Alice Morse Earle.
A great work. From beginning to end I found it absorbingly interesting.
It is completely satisfactory. It leaves me with the conviction that the subject
has been handled fully and finally. Others may follow and do service.
Mr. Bruce has discovered and established his domain, and that is his for all
time. He has made a book which will be always a part of the history of
Virginia.
—Thomas Nelson Page.
I have found on every page evidence of laborious research and of a remarkable
gift of lucid exposition. The work will surely be regarded as an original
and valuable contribution to American history. It will secure the writer a
high, place among the writers of this country.
—Col. Archer Anoerson.
