	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.

	Colonial Rule
		As a result, colonial governors had little contact with remote areas, where district administrators often proved incapable or uninterested in carrying out the dictates of their superiors.
		Finally, colonial administrations' efforts to impose indirect rule were confounded by the ambiguities of so-called "customary law." Lugard and other administrators assumed each "tribe" possessed a set of stable, universally understood laws.
		Colonial administrations outlawed other customs that offended European sensibilities, such as slavery, but often were often unable to enforce or uninterested in enforcing their own prohibitions.

	Hall, Chatham's Colonial Policy
		For in the common view of English ministers and colonial governors, of British parliaments and colonial assemblies, France was the deadly enemy of the lives and liberties of the American provincials.
		In justice to the colonies, however, it should be stated that this aspect of their financial difficulties was not presented by them as a grievance.
		It was alleged that the Dutch colonies of Curaçao, St. Eustatia and Guiana and the Spanish free ports of Hispaniola served as emporia for the clandestine carrying trade of the American colonies and the West Indian islanders with the French settlements.

	Memoirs of the Earl of Listowel: Chapter 11 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Our then system of administration of the Colonies was to have one lot of officials, the professional members of the Colonial Service, working in the field, and quite another lot, the civil servants in the Colonial Office, issuing instructions to them as directed by the Secretary of State from their offices in Whitehall.
		Colonial Governments had hitherto been mainly concerned with security: protection of its territory from without, and preserving law and order within: and raising sufficient revenues to obviate grants from the home Government.
		He evidently thought that ministerial visits to the Colonies were a good thing, because in the autumn of 1949 he approved of a similar visit to the Caribbean, again suggested by the Colonial Office.

	Armoria patriæ - Natal Colony
		What Paterson had produced was an illustration of a colonial seal on a standard pattern first used in the 1839 Great Seal of Newfoundland, a design which, Brownell points out, was “ideally suited for engraving, but certainly not for the use to which it was also put, namely as the distinguishing device on flags”.
		In September 1845 Natal was incorporated as a separate district of the Cape Colony and ruled by a handful of officials under a lieutenant-governor who answered to the Governor of the Cape.
		The report on colonial administration which Shepstone submitted to the Colonial Office in 1847 was the foundation of policy in Natal and elsewhere for the next 30 years.

		Here was the Governor's castle rock, where Baranof in the coat of chain mail which he always wore beneath his cloak (no idle gesture this, for his life was often threatened) lorded it over northern land and sea, for at that time Sitka was the chief port on all the western coast.
		All acts of the Alaska legislature are subject to veto by the Governor (who is appointed by the President, as New England's colonial Governors were appointed by the King) or to nullification by Congress.
