Preface to the Paperback Edition
During the last two years many persons have asked me to secure a reprinting of this little book on Charleston. The University of Oklahoma Press first printed Charleston in the Age of the Pinckneys in 1969 in their Centers of Civilization Series. Now the University of South Carolina Press has decided to add this title to its growing list of Charlestoniana. I am most grateful therefore to have this opportunity to make a few minor corrections in spelling, style, and identification as well as to remove several typographical errors. Although the reviewers were generous in their praise, many regretted that the volume contained no maps. We have thus inserted two maps and at the same time have added a number of illustrations.
I have felt no need to alter the text or to change my interpretation. Indeed I have been urged to leave my original statement as it is. There are, however, a number of books, published in the last decade, which provide additional insights into the lives of the members of the Pinckney family and into the history of the city and of the state. The Letterbook of Eliza Lucas Pinckney, 17391763, carefully edited by Elise Pinckney, appeared in 1972. The most complete study of the Pinckney family is that provided by Frances Leigh Williams in A Founding Family: The Pinckneys of South Carolina (1978).
Lewis P. Jones's South Carolina: A Synoptic History for Laymen (1971) is the most readable history of the state. Peter Wood with his publication of Black Majority in 1974 as changed our views of the role of blacks in

early South Carolina. Steven A. Channing's Crisis of Fear: Secession in South Carolina (1970) and E. Milby Burton's The Siege of Charleston, 18611865 (1970) provide provocative statements and fresh overviews for the late antebellum and Civil War periods.
The South Carolina Tricentennial Commission (19671971) sponsored a number of important works. Among the Tricentennial Editions are Jacob Eckhard's Choirmaster's Book of 1809 with an introduction by George W. Williams (1971), the edition by Walter B. Edgar of The Letterbook of Robert Pringle, 17371745 (1972), and The Letters of Freeman, Etc. edited by Robert M. Weir (1977). Among the Tricentennial Studies are Converse D. Clowse's Economic Beginnings in Colonial South Carolina, 16701730 (1971), George Smith McCowen's The British Occupation of Charleston, 178082 (1972), and Carl J. Vipperman's The Rise of Rawlins Lowndes, 17211800 (1978). Among the Tricentennial Booklets are Robert M. Weir's "A Most Important Epocha": The Coming of the Revolution in South Carolina (1970) and Russell F. Weigley's The Partisan War: The South Carolina Campaign of 17801782 (1970).
Clarence L. Ver Steeg in Origins of a Southern Mosaic (1975) has fitted the South Carolina story into that of the southeast in general and Phinizy Spalding in Oglethorpe in America (1977) continues to throw light on South Carolina history by telling us what was happening in Georgia.
The Papers of Henry Laurens, edited by the late Philip M. Hamer, George C. Rogers, Jr., and David R. Chesnutt, has in eight volumes (17471773) given the day-by-day detail of life in the commercial, social, and political world of Charleston.

I still cherish this little volume as my own favorite book among those I have written. I am willing to present it once again as an introduction to the larger stories of the state.

Acknowledgments
The author wishes to thank Professors Robert M. Weir and Frank Durham of the University of South Carolina for their criticisms of this manuscript and the members of the Quill Club of Columbia, South Carolina, for patiently listening while portions of several chapters were read to them. Mrs. Evelyn Frazier made helpful suggestions with reference to style. Miss Anna Rutledge has on many occasions brought to the author's attention little-known but interesting facets of South Carolina's history.
Without the continuing help of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Prior, E. L. Inabinett, and Charles Lee and the staffs of their respective institutions, the South Carolina Historical Society, the South Caroliniana Library of the University of South Carolina, and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, the writing of South Carolina history could not proceed. Mrs. Davy-Jo S. Ridge and her staff in the Reference Room of the McKissick Library of the University of South Carolina have willingly answered many queries. Miss Helen McCormack has selected the line drawing used on page 67.
