Excerpt from Guide to British West Indian Archive Materials, in London and in the Islands, for the History of the United States This account of the West Indian portions of the Colonial Office Papers constitutes the first part of the present volume, the islands being arranged in alphabetical order as they are in the classification of the Colonial Office Papers themselves. Then follows a brief account of the papers of the West India Committee in London, after which follows, as the second main part of the volume, a body of descriptions, in alphabetical order, of the archives of the individual islands and of what they contain for the history of the English colonies and colonial system in America and of the relations of these islands to the United States down to 1815 (and, in a few cases, a little later).

Written by one of the leading authorities on trade and finance in the early modern Atlantic world, these fourteen essays, revised and integrated for this volume, share as their common theme the development of the Atlantic economy, especially British America and the Caribbean. Topics treated range from early attempts in medieval England to measure the carrying capacity of ships, through the advent in Renaissance Italy and England of business newspapers that reported on the traffic of ships, cargoes and market prices, to the state of the economy of France over the two hundred years before the French Revolution and of the British West Indies between 1760 and 1790. Included is the story of Thomas Irving who challenged and thwarted the likes of John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
