Excerpt from Georgia and State Rights: A Study of the Political History of Georgia, From the Revolution to the Civil War, With Particular Regard to Federal Relations It is not difficult for one whose native environment is the Cotton Belt to orient himself into antebellum Georgia. I have made little use, however, of the historical imagination. The method is that of the investigator rather than the liter ary historian. The work is intended to be a thorough seien tific treatment of its subject. No pains have been spared in obtaining exhaustive and accurate information. I have made research in person in every important library in America, and in several of those abroad, and have made use of a large amount of material which is in the possession of private individuals. The most useful collections of material for the work have been found in the University of Georgia Library, the Carnegie Library of Atlanta, the Congressional Library, and the libraries of the Historical Societies of Georgia, New York, and Wisconsin.
