Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 17: Published Quarterly; April, 1893 Good people all, who dwell far off or near, And do desire the truth from hence to hear, Mark well the things which to you I relate, They will inform you of our happy state. After which he dwells upon the excellence Of the soil, the fruits, the fields, the sugar, the beasts, the fowl, the fish, the saw-mills, the schools, and even the inhabitants. Of himself he says, If those who know me not by name DO say What fellow is this same? Where doth he dwell, is he a Friend Or is it safe for to depend On this report he doth indite?

In The Idea of Europe and the Origins of the American Revolution, Dan Robinson presents a new history of politics in colonial America and the imperial crisis, tracing how ideas of Europe and Europeanness shaped British-American political culture. Reconstructing colonial debates about the European states system, European civilisation, and Britain's position within both, Robinson shows how these concerns informed colonial attitudes towards American identity and America's place inside - and, ultimately, outside - the emerging British Empire. Taking in more than two centuries of Atlantic history, he explores the way in which colonists inherited and adapted Anglo-British traditions of thinking about international politics, how they navigated imperial politics during the European wars of 1740-1763, and how the burgeoning patriot movement negotiated the dual crisis of Europe and Empire in the between 1763 and 1775. In the process, Robinson sheds new light on the development of public politics in colonial America, the Anglicisation/Americanisation debate, the political economy of empire, early American art and poetry, eighteenth-century geopolitical thinking, and the relationship between international affairs, nationalism, and revolution. What emerges from this story is an American Revolution that seems both decidedly arcane and strikingly relevant to the political challenges of the twenty-first century.
