	The Colonial Currency, Prices, and Exchange Rates
		Colonial paper currency, generally called bills of credit, was issued on two bases: on the credit of the colony supported by tax funds, and on loan.
		The existing colonial price indices based upon the prices of a few commodities bought or sold in foreign commerce are in no way indicative of the general price level.10 The colonial prices of such commodities depend predominantly upon the conditions of supply and demand in foreign markets and on the rate of exchange.
		In the case of New England and the Middle colonies, where direct trade between the colonies and Britain was at a minimum, it was necessary for the colonies to have recourse to a roundabout trade to procure the necessary bills of exchange and specie to pay their adverse balances with Britain.

	COLONIZATION--THE MIDDLE COLONIES
		Of all the colony builders of America the most famous in our history is Penn. Nor was he excelled by any in sincerity of purpose and loftiness of aim.
		During the long period of her colonial youth we find in Pennsylvania the same kind of quarreling between the people and the governors, the same vagaries in issuing paper money, the same unbridled spirit of freedom, the same monotonous history, as we find in most of the other colonies.
		Among her governors we find in the early period no really great men, but in 1723 there arrived in Philadelphia a young man from Boston who soon rose to be the leading figure in the colony, and so he continued for more than half a century.

	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.

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.
