Excerpt from The History of Georgia in the Eighteenth Century, as Recorded in the Reports of the Georgia Bar Association: Read Before the Thirty-Eight Annual Session of the Georgia Bar Association at Tybee Island, Georgia, June 3, 1921
When I had collected this historical material together I confess I was amazed at its scope, its volume, and its rich ness. I soon discovered it would be impossible to use it all, and therefore decided to confine this paper to the first sixty-seven years, from the founding of the Colony to the end of the century.
It has seemed best to let these Association historians tell their own stories in their own language rather than to use the material which, with so much painstaking care, they have laboriously gathered, in the preparation of a new and an independent history.

Of course the Bar Association historians have been largely interested in the constitutional and legal history of the state and its military and political history are only alluded to incidentally. And each one has written on some particular topic rather than on a period of time. Some incidents or some phases of the history may be given undue emphasis or treatment out of proportion to their importance, while other and mayhap more important matters may be passed over with but scant notice. Yet I do assert that a very fair history of Georgia has been written and recorded in the annual reports of the Georgia Bar Association, and much of the legal history of the state is better told in these reports than anywhere else.

The plan adopted is after the manner of the "Historians' History of the World" - extracts from different authors being put together to form something of a connected whole.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a unique approach to exploring the history of Georgia in the 18th century by drawing from a surprising source: the annual reports of the Georgia Bar Association. The author meticulously compiles and presents a rich narrative by weaving together various papers, addresses, and monographs penned by lawyers who served on the Association. This unconventional method offers a fresh perspective on the legal, political, and social landscape of the fledgling colony. The book delves into the establishment of Georgia as a trust estate, charting the complex land grants and treaties with Native American tribes. It examines the controversial figure of Thomas Causton, a powerful bailiff who wielded significant influence over the colony's early legal system, and the absence of lawyers during the trustee period. The author reveals the struggles and injustices faced by the colonists under the trustees' rule, ultimately leading to the surrender of the colony to the British Crown. By highlighting the legal and political intricacies of the period, the book illuminates the challenges and opportunities faced by the colonists in shaping their own destiny. The author's careful research and compelling narrative provide a fascinating glimpse into the early history of Georgia, offering valuable insights into the formation of a new society and its evolving legal framework.
