In the preface to his previous volume in this series, "The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America", Fiske writes: "It is my purpose, in my next book, to deal with the rise and fall of New France [Quebec], and the development of the English colonies as influenced by the prolonged struggle with that troublesome and dangerous neighbour."
