Anbury, Major Thomas.--Travels Through the Interior Parts of
America in a series of Letters. Two Volumes. Printed for
William Lane, Leadenhall Street, London, 1791. Major Anbury was
a British officer who was captured at Saratoga and was brought
south with the Convention Prisoners. He was paroled and had an
opportunity to see much of Virginia. His observations upon the
social life of the state are interesting, although tinged with

accustomed to the conventional ideas of England his writings

found in the works of native authors.

Bagby, George W.--Selections from the Writings of. Whittet and

state and had an unsurpassed opportunity of becoming acquainted
with this life. The style is pleasing and the stories
entertaining.

its history in the seventeenth century. Chapters are devoted to
a description of the land, of the people, of the government, of
the church, of the lack
