商品簡介
Young American aristocrat Quincy (1744-75) sailed from Boston to Charleston in February 1773 ostensibly to begin a provincial version of Europe's Grand Tour. In fact, as he traveled through the colonies up the coast back to Massachusetts, he served as an agent of the Boston Committee of Correspondence, assessing possible allies in a move for independence and establishing lines of communication. In addition, he kept a personal journal, noting whatever interested him. Coquillette (Boston College and Harvard Law School) and York (general education and history, Brigham Young U.) transcribe, annotate, and index these journals. The series will run to five volumes, most devoted to his law practice. Published by the Colonial Society of Massachusetts and distributed in the US by University of Virginia Press.
