Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from An Introduction to American Institutional History Written for This Series Mr. Freeman came to America in the fall of 1881, on the joint invitation of the Lowell Institute in Boston and of the Peabody Institute in Baltimore. The united influence of these two local institutions, representing the intellectual union of -Northern and Southern cities, was seconded by two other influences of a local character: first, by Mr. Freeman's natural desire to visit his own son, who married in Baltimore and who now lives upon a plantation in Virginia; secondly, by an ardent longing to see with his own eyes a New England Town Meeting, which, in the genealogy of local institutions, is a long-lost child of Old England and a grandchild of the Fatherland. The historian of "The English People in their Three Homes" regards the local institutions of the United States, North and South, as the historic offspring of England and Germany, as truly as his own name, once applied to all freemen of the English Colonies in America, is directly perpetuated by children and grandchildren in the Old Dominion, where he indulged what he pleasantly calls "old fatherly emotions towards the last-born bairn's bairn," and where, true to historical impulses, he began a "Virginia Domesday" in the old forms: "Freeman tenet; Bell tenuit Ante Guerram. Valebat ... dollarios; modo ... Waste fuit." With the grim humor of William the Conqueror, who, when he fell to the earth upon landing at Pevensey, grasped the soil and thus took seizin of England, Mr. Freeman describes his sons territorial conquest upon the shore of the Rapidan, "Potuit ire quo voluit cum ista terra, for the soil of the Old Dominion sticketh to the boots and is carried about hither and thither " This extract from a letter dated Somerleaze, Rapid Ann Depot, Culpeper County, Virginia, December 25th, 1881, needs no better commentary than the following extract from the Inquisitio Eliensis, Domesday, iii, 497 (or Stubb's Select Charters, 86): "Deinde quomodo vocatur man io, quis tenuit earn tempore Regis Eadwardi; quis modo tenet; ... quantum valebat totum simul; et quantum modo; ..." The suggestion of Domesday-forms came to Mr. Freeman not only from the history of Virginia land-tenure, but from Professor William F. Allen's paper on "The English Cottagers of the Middle Ages," a paper which had been sent Mr. Freeman in answer to his query "about a man in Wisconsin, who has written something about villainage - what a long way off to know about such things - how can I get it?"
