O N May 8, i984, at Columbia University Seminar Early American History and Culture, Richard R. Johnson roasted The Governors-General in heat of [his] disbelief. When he concluded his comments, first copy of i676, fresh from press, was displayed and, insofar as it was a reply to criticisms of The GovernorsGeneral, discussed.' Shortly thereafter, St. Catherine's conferees broke into print. The Governors-General, said one, was the most provocatively revisionist interpretation of British Empire to appear this century. It placed English military at center of imperial politics. Thus The GovernorsGeneral transformed existing concepts of origins of royal government empire overseas. The work even suggested that the history of realm itself might be restructured to give greater weight to army and much less to county community.2 Another essayist observed that work's depiction of the colonies as being involved military function of government upset mercantile orthodoxy of early American history. The Governors-General presented what this scholar called salutary proof that the interests of governing classes England were not necessarily same as those of business community.3
