Excerpt from Internal Improvements in North Carolina Previous to 1860 The aim of this study has been to present the movement for internal improvements as it affected the State as a whole, and to discuss the most important enterprises that were undertaken during a limited period. In its prepar ation I have used State laws, reports of the various State officers and the State newspapers of the time. There are also some contemporary narratives, such as Judge Mur phy's Memorial, which have been of assistance. But, for the greater part, I have had to depend upon the docu ments found in the State Library at Raleigh.

The work stops at the outbreak of the Civil War, for there are several reasons why this is an appropriate point to close the subject.

After the war those which were undertaken were of a different kind and were carried on by totally different methods. Then too, during reconstruction, the question was one which was intimately connected with politics, and was more than a mere question of internal development.
