Book excerpt: Excerpt from Calendar of Virginia State Papers and Other Manuscripts: From January 1, 1782, to December 31, 1784, Preserved in the Capitol at Richmond The modern demand for histories of the people, in contrast with histories of rulers and governments, has revolutionized, in large degree, historical com position, and given a value to the Virginia State Calendar, and similar works, which cannot be two highly estimated. The sacrifices made by Virginia in the conquest of liberty and the establishment of a government which are the common property of the people of the United States, (so fully recorded in these papers, ) will much increase the sense of obligation to Virginia, felt by all. To the historical student interested in the original manuscripts preserved in the archives of the Commonwealth, it may be proper to state that, in the superintendence of this volume, while passing through the press and in the preparation of the index, I have had ample means of knowing that this work of Dr. Palmer is marked by unusual accuracy in transcription and judgment in annotation - so important in works of this character.
