MR.. KENNEDY'S NEW WORK
Journals of the House of Burgesses Of
Virginia, 1878 to 1916.

1.-The best piece OF work of its kind
ever produced in the South" Such is
the criticism recently made regarding
the Journal of the House of Burgesses
of Virginia. 1773-I776. edited by John
Pendleton Kennedy, State Librarian of
Virginia.
The original manuscript journal from
which such an excellent publication has
been made under the able editorship of
Mr.. Kennedy, is an unique volume writ
ten in the quaint but beautiful chirogra-
ply of our forefathers. 1t covers a pc
rod of most vital Importance IN the his
tory of our country, period just prior
to the revolution, when Virginia. like a
mighty giantess in her wrath, wasslowly
but surely breaking the bonds that bound
her to the mother country.
In editing the work Mr.. Kennedy has
unearthed many historic and hitherto
imprinted documents, which add great
interest to, and throw new light upon
that period. Among these are letters
OF the original committee of correspon-
dence which are printed in full. These
with the resolutions of the House OF
Burgesses creating that committee. give
us full history of the foundation OF
those memorable bodies in each colony
which did so much to unite the colonies
and strengthen their hands for the com
ing conflict.
The Journal gives the history of the
contest between the House of Burgess
es and Lord Dummore in its entirety. i
throws new light on the slave question
of that time, and on the troubles be
tween the people and the ministers O
the colony. which in days gone by had
awakened those fervid words of Patrick
Henry, Caesar had his Brutus. Charlie.
