Numerous articles and several books have reexamined the colonial period with an approach that emphasizes the use of quantitative data and modern theory. One important topic, however, remains little explored: economic development. Much of the writing on this question has been avowedly impressionistic and,serves to underscore Ralph Andreano's pronouncement about American colonial growth that no period of our national development remains as untouched by testable generalizations as does this one.'
