Excerpt from Princess Cavalier, Vol. 4: The Age of Colonization, 1570-1620
Though widely separated in geography, the deeds of these several peoples, English, Dutch, and French, are strung upon the thread of Romance, and, instead of being treated as unrelated incidents in dislocated chapters, kept constantly in view. The actions and reactions of the vari ous settlements, the opening of inter-colonial trade, the civilizing and unifying in¿uences of commerce, tending from the first to bring about the concord which now appears so inevitable, are bound together in time, and can be followed with increasing and unforgettable interest. The numerous portraits of the actors in the events of that day all fall strictly within the chronological limits of the generation under discussion, and have their due part to play in fixing their subjects and the events in which they took part upon the reader's memory.
