"It should be emphasized that these chapters are concerned both with those who went to England for a temporary sojourn and those who returned and stayed. The former is unquestionably a much larger group, and probably of greater interest to the American reader, because of continued membership in the colonial commonwealth. The latter element should not be slighted, however; in tracing its activities we gain some inkling of what was wrong or unattractive in the American society of the age, and a virtually unwritten saga of American careers in the Britain of the Old Empire is unfolded. Moreover, though some colonial Americans appear in the unsympathetic garb of expatriates and absentee landlords, with little or no interest in the problems of the rude provinces, there were many of those who stayed abroad who were probably more useful to their colonial compatriots there than they would have been in America. The motives which sent so many Americans abroad before the Revolution, and their activities and attitudes once they reached British soil are the main themes of this book. The matter of influences -- the effect of the American on a British polity and society, the impact of the Old World ways on the visitor and, through him, on the colonials to whom he usually returned -- is more incidentally treated"--Prologue.

First published in 1924, at the time, this was the first detailed study which attempted to investigate the workings and character of the powerful West Indian interest in London in the eighteenth century. At the centre of this interest stood the Colonial Agent, an office which had come into existence when the West Indian interest was born. Dr. Penson traces its growth from the Restoration era, through the Peace of Paris, when its importance began to decline, to the nineteenth century when the office finally disappeared. It is based on exhaustive research in public and private archives.

During the twenty years before the American Revolution, thirty-seven men acted as paid agent or lobbyists for the American colonies in England. The most famous among them were Benjamin Franklin, who represented four different colonies and served for seventeen years as agenet for Pennsylvania, and Edmund Burke, who accepted the position to further his own career. Yet the other thirty-five were also a colorful and heterogenous group. This detailed study, by a Pulitzer-prize-winning historian, of their activities and of the gradual breakdown of communications between the colonies and the mother country, until the link between the two become only "a rope of sand," is, in the words of the Richmond News Leader, "a new and invigorating approach to the American fight for independence." "Soundly documented, well organized and highly readable." - The New York Historical Society Quarterly "A challenging book about an important historical institution." - The Historian "A substantial contribution to our understanding of Anglo-American history during the eighteenth century." - The New England Quarterly "Both in concept and execution, A Rope of Sand is impressive." - The Journal of American History

Annotation Olson (history, U. of Maryland) argues that, until the eve of the revolution, the British crown could rule its American colonies peacefully with so few administrators because an extensive network of voluntary interest groups, tying the colonies and London, allowed colonists a measure of influence over the central government.

From culture to childbirth, money to marriage and wooing to widowhood, Rosemary O'Day introduces us to the lives of women in early modern Britain and the North American colonies. Dispelling the myth that women during this period were weak characters dominated by husbands and fathers, O'Day reveals these women to be important agents in the social, economic, religious and cultural lives of their societies who exercised considerable influence on the world around them. Strong women, she argues, were not the exception but the norm at this time and in many, even most, cases their menfolk valued and colluded in their strength. These women did not exist in a vacuum. In examining the differing lives of married women in the old and new worlds O'Day challenges the assumption that women of the North American colonies had more agency than those in Britain. She demonstrates that gender is indeed a social construct and that different societies will construct it differently. However, far from leading us into the realms of abstract speculation, O'Day focuses on the real lives of real women, exploring how far their experience was determined by their family roles and to what extent they existed as individuals, expanding their own horizonsand those of future women.
