Historical Collections Of South Carolina Vol 1 Of 2 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Historical Collections of South Carolina, Vol. 1 of 2 In presenting these volumes of "Historical Collections of South Carolina," to his fellow-citizens, the Editor flatters himself, that he has done them an essential service. All the works he has republished, have been long since out of print; and most of them are not to be found in any public or private library in this country. With great care and diligence, and at considerable expense, the works have been now brought together in one body; and the Editor hesitates not in saying, that the accomplishment of this plan will place the early history of his native state in its true and proper position. It is no detraction to affirm, that those who, within the last half century, have written the history of South Carolina, have suffered many errors to creep into their respective works. The faults may scarcely be attributed to them; for, in truth, until within a few years since, the materials for a correct history of the State were not to be had in this country. About three years ago, the Editor first determined to engage himself in collecting such documents and papers as would supply the deficiency complained of.
