	Beer, British Colonial Policy, 1754-1765
		The ablest colonial governor of the time, William Shirley of Massachusetts, was, however, strongly in favor of a parliamentary union coupled with parliamentary taxation of the colonies.
		Though all these plans, whether of colonial union or of parliamentary taxation, were intended for a permanent military establishment in the colonies in time of peace, their ultimate object was to effect the security of the colonies in the event of war.
		The governor, Francis Bernard, wrote to Pitt on March 20, 1759, that New Jersey showed her zeal for the cause in voting 1000 men, as her population was only 70,000 to 80,000 and as she was spending yearly on the war £70,000, whereas Pennsylvania which was five times as populous, raised only £100,000.

	Interactive State House
		The commissioning of Thomas Gage as Royal Governor of Massachusetts was a clear sign that English tolerance of rebellion in Massachusetts had reached its limit.
		Further acts suspended Massachusetts' legislature, banned town meetings and juries, provided for troops to be housed in private residence, and enabled the Governor to suspend laws and move trials to England as he thought fit.
		His rule increasingly became that of a military governor, an occupier of territory that ruled by force.

	Greene, Provincial Governor in the English Colonies of North America. Ch. I
		By its provisions the governor and company were empowered to make all necessary rules for the administration of the colony, and to govern either directly or by a resident governor of their appointment.
		The proprietary governor was, in a sense, not even a public officer at all, but the agent of a private person or group of persons, intrusted, it is true, with the powers and duties of an officer of State, but charged also with the defence and promotion of distinctly private interests.
		The royal governor, it is true, was frequently called upon to choose between a refusal of supplies by the assembly and disobedience to his instructions; but the proprietary governor was hampered by an additional set of instructions based, not on constitutional and political grounds, but often on purely selfish interests.

	History of the United States. Charles Beard, Mary Beard, 1921
		Colonial life, crowded as it was with hard and unremitting toil, left scant leisure for the cultivation of the arts and sciences.
		In the Middle colonies, particularly, the multiplication of sects made the dominance of any single denomination impossible; and in all of them there was a growing diversity of faith, which promised in time a separation of church and state and freedom of opinion.
		In New York, the friends of the governor complained in 1747 that “the inhabitants of plantations are generally educated in republican principles; upon republican principles all is conducted.

	Colonial Society on the Eve of Revolution
		The most honored profession in the colonial times was the clergy, which in 1775, had less power than before but still wielded a great amount of it.
		In a gloom and grim atmosphere, colonial schools put most of the emphasis on religion and on the classical languages, as well as doctrine and orthodoxy.
		Lord Cornbury, first cousin of Queen Anne, was made governor of New York and New Jersey in 1702 but proved to be a drunkard, a spendthrift, a gafter, and embezzler, a religious bigot, and a vain fool.

	newspapers-Elliott
		It was the largest town in the colonies, the center of foreign and intercolonial commerce; and the presence there of a literate population containing many lawyers and ministers with facile pens placed it foremost as the cultural and literary leader of the colonies.
		Editorials as such were missing from the colonial newspaper, but at the same time objective news reporting characteristic of the modern newspaper was not a style used by the colonial publisher.
		Though Governor Johnston expected this to be completed by the middle of the next summer, it was advertised in The NOth Carolina Gazette of November 15, 1751, as “just publish’d.” This may have been, however, a second edition, which included the laws passed at the September 26-October 12, 1751, session of the Assembly.

	The Colonial Virginia Register
		From 1652 to 1660 the Governors were elected by the House of Burgesses, though there is some reason to believe that their choice may have been influenced by the wishes of the Parliamentary authorities, or of Cromwell.
		The Councillors were the Governor's advisers in executive matters, and patents, etc., are stated to be issued with their "advice and consent." They constituted the General Court -the supreme court of the Colony and also had legislative functions as members of the upper house of the Assembly, corresponding somewhat to our senate.
		The colonial almanacs (which were always published late in the year before that whose date they bear-as is the case now) contain lists which have in the main been found to be very accurate, of the members of the House in existence at the time when the almanac was printed.

		By the year 1664 there were considerable English colonies settled in the northern and eastern parts of what is now New Jersey, and King Charles II, considering a Dutch and Swedish colony in the heart of his dominions in America to be a menace to his government, determined to dispossess them.

		Until 1702 he was appointed by the governor, after which he was commissioned by the Crown.
		By the Constitution the governor was required to do the appointing with the "advice and consent of the council." But in practice it subordinated the governor to the council whenever a majority of the assembly was politically opposed to him, and the annual election of the council greatly increased chances of such opposition.

	France: Former colonial possessions
		Though they sometimes had their own governors, Isle Royale and Isle Saint-Jean (today's Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island, respectively) are usually considered part of the French colony of Acadia.
		Possessions of the first French Colonial Empire (until 1763) mostly used flags such as the White Cross or the Fleurdelysé flags, while the French Republic used mostly the Tricolore, and a few specific flags, such as marks of office.
		Despite the numerous and various administrative statuses of its overseas possessions (colonies, mandates, protectorates, trusteeships and other overseas territories in general...), and however large the empire, France has always considered itself together with its colonial empire as a single united political entity in which each part was only a piece of a whole.
