----- 北卡罗来纳州的历史
These volumes are long overdue and my colleagues and I feel that it is but right to say that the publishers are in no way responsible for the delay. Like everybody else during the past two years we have been constantly interrupted and di verted from our work by numerous extra duties incident to the crisis through which our country has been passing, so that it has been impossible to complete these three volumes of nar rative history within the time originally set for their publica tion. To the publishers who have done everything possible to facilitate our work and have displayed the utmost patience at the delay, we are under many obligations.
