Voyagers to the West: A Review Colloquium

Henry A. Gemery, James T. Lemon, John McCusker and E. A. Wrigley

Business History Review, 1988, vol. 62, issue 4, 678-696

Abstract: Occasionally books appear that are broad enough in subject or methodology to afford scholars in various specialties a useful opportunity to look at the same material from different viewpoints. Like other documents, works of history tend to answer only those questions asked of them, and the juxtaposition of the questions important to readers of diverse scholarly backgrounds may be in itself illuminating. For this, the first in a continuing series of review colloquia, we invited a specialist in British population movements, a historical geographer, an economist who has done quantitative work in the field of colonial immigration, and an authority on the economy of British North America to consider Bernard Bailyn's Pulitzer Prize-winning study.
