	Governors of the Australian states - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the six colonies federated to form the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901, there were some suggestions that the position of state Governor should be abolished, but the states insisted on retaining their independent links to the Crown.
		State Governors continued to be appointed by the King on the advice of the Colonial Secretary in London, usually after an informal consultation with the state government.
		Most of the early colonial Governors were military or naval officers, and once the Governor's role moved from the executive to the ceremonial, most Governors were drawn from the ranks of retired officers.

	Government House: Colonial Governors, 1855-1933
		As was the Crown's representative in the colony, the governor acted according to his official Instructions and the Letters Patent which constituted the colony's constitution.
		The most important official tool that a governor possessed internally, was the power to accept or reject a recommendation from the government to dissolve the legislature and hold a general election.
		Governors Bannerman, O'Brien and Murray are examples of governors who directly intervened in politics - by sacking an entire government (Bannerman), removing an influential cabinet minister (Murray), and by refusing advice to dissolve the legislature (O'Brien).

	List of Governors of Massachusetts
		The title of "His Excellency" is a throwback to the executives of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Province of New England, and Royal Colony of Massachusetts, all of whom as royal appointees were afforded this title.
		The governor also serves as Commander-in-Chief of the Commonwealth's armed forces, a position the power of which has declined as the states of the United States have become less individual nations and more subnational units.
		Governor Sumner died in office on June 7, 1799, leaving Lt. Governor Moses Gill as Governor of the Commonwealth.

	Government House: Civil Governors, 1825-1854
		Governor Cochrane aligned himself with the Conservatives, some of whom he appointed to the council, but the Liberals had a majority in the assembly.
		Governors were expected to rely heavily upon their executive and legislative councils, both of which were filled with unelected officials.
		While some of the governors were ill suited for their office -- many of them were former military officers who had little experience in colonial politics -- others enjoyed a degree of success.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Australia
		On his arrival in Sydney, Governor Macquarie bluntly informed him that no "Popish missionary" would be allowed to intrude within the settlement, and that every person in the penal colony must be a Protestant.
		This colony had been founded in 1836 as a free and "socially superior" Protestant settlement, from which "Papists and pagans" were to have been rigidly excluded.
		For a time all the colonies of the Australasian group followed the example initiated by New South Wales in according State aid to the clergy and the denominational schools of the principal religious bodies, Anglicans, Catholics, Presbyterians, and Methodists.

		He was also in the forefront of the struggle with Gipps concerning generally the powers of the council and the governor on the land question, and in 1846 moved and carried an address to the governor acquainting him that the council could not entertain a bill he had originated.

	Sir William Johnson- The Early America Review, Fall 1996
		Governor Shirley also saw Johnson's ability in dealing with the Indians; in 1754 he wrote to Johnson stating he would recommend him to be appointed in the capacity best suited to his talent.
		By the time Clinton was Governor of New York in 1746 the Indian Commissioners in Albany were proving inadequate for the task; Johnson was therefore asked, since he had a good relationship with the Indians, to regulate the trade with them.
		Governor Bernard of Massachusetts argued for a distinction between control of Indians inside and outside provincial boundaries, and did not wish to see Johnson as 'a governor within my government'.

	The Frontier In American History: Chapter III
		Riots occurred when the colonial authorities attempted to assert possession, and the matter was at length compromised in 1719 by allowing Litchfield to be settled in accordance with the town grants, while the colony reserved the larger part of northwestern Connecticut.
		The diplomacy of New York governors during this period of the Old West, in securing a protectorate over the Six Nations and a consequent claim to their territory, and in holding them aloof from France, constituted the most effective contribution of that colony to the movement of American expansion.
		Among the objects of the colony, as specified in the charters, were the relief of the poor and the protection of the frontiers.

		While the island's population remained too small to support formal government institutions, the proprietary governors and their backers were often preoccupied with affairs in England.
		The proprietary governors left no legacy for the naval governors to follow; indeed, the customs of the migratory fishery, such as the fishing admirals system, exerted a far greater influence over the island's constitutional development.

	Complete List of NYS Attorneys General
		Between 1684 and 1777, the Colonial Attorneys General were appointed by the King of England, or the Colonial Governors on the Crown's behalf.
		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.

		In spite of the attitude of French superiority that prevailed at the colonial exposition, one of its major goals was to demonstrate to the people that the colonies were not simply the homes of exotic peoples and strange customs: they were the source of vital resources contributing to the health of the French economy.
		The relationship of France toward her colonies, as argued in all the official documents for the exposition, was one of reciprocity: in exchange for the benefits of French civilization, the colonies would provide material goods to France.
		But in 1931, the exposition organizers, backed by Minister of the Colonies Léon Perrier, were not primarily out to impress the natives: they were attempting to impress upon French people the importance of the colonies for the health of France, and the humanitarian good the empire was bringing to her subject nations.

	Northern Rhodesia (Zambia pre-independence)
		The Colonial Office wrote to the Government of Northern Rhodesia in 1938 about the flag of the colony and were told that the badge, granted in 1928, had never been used on any flag as the government operated no launches and there was no opportunity for the Governor to embark in a vessel.
		The Government of the Colony accepted that this design be used as a shield on the Public Seal of the Territory in 1927.
		This flag continued to be used by the Governor of Northern Rhodesia when the Protectorate became one of the constituent territories of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland between 1953 and 1963, and ceased to be used once Northern Rhodesia gained independence on 24 October 1964 as the Republic of Zambia.

		It was in mounting the steps of the Capitol, in January, 1855, that the thought first arose of converting it into a volume.

		Colonial governors and other persons in authority, will have a considerable motive to stop short of such extremities in future.
