	The Colonial Roots of American Taxation, 1607-1700 - Policy Review, No. 114 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		To profit from the development of his colony, collect quitrents and fines, and recover land from settlers without heirs or who failed to meet the terms of their contracts, each proprietor required a system of territorial administration.
		Almost from the beginning, in all the proprietary colonies except New York, proprietors and their executive officials were dependent on annual appropriations of their legislatures, which set specific rates of duties and direct taxes.
		Colonial governors were not willing to surrender authority to “foreign agents.” Many seventeenth century colonial governors were already more American than English.

		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.

	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.

	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 colony was enlarged further in 1897 with the Ingwavuma or Tongaland territory, annexed in pieces by Britain in 1888, ’90 and ’95 – finally including Kosi Bay, the last un-annexed piece of the coast.

	Judicial Supremacy in America: Its Colonial and Constitutional History
		Many decades before our Revolutionary patriots were born many American colonial judges were standing upon the outer wall, using every feeble weapon at hand to shield our forefathers from the usurpations and abuse of power by kings and commons, by colonial governors and assemblies.
		Governor Hardy was removed from his office by George III for renewing those judges' commissions in the exact form originally granted by Lewis Morris.
		Scores of American colonial judges who refused to grant writs of assistance were removed from their judgeships and were replaced by servile tools of tyranny during the ten years immediately preceding the American Revolution.

	African Forum
		The invention of the half-tone grid-system put photos in newspapers and books in 1888, and began the "10¢ magazine revolution." Pictures froze images of "primitive" people who were supposed to be disappearing in the path of the very universalizing and homogenizing forces in which viewers were safely enmeshed.
		The equivalence of individuals within groups derived concretely from the manipulation of people in the mechanics of colonial administration, just as museums of African art derived from the possibilities of thievery in discrete periods of conquest, and animal "families" in natural history museums were assembled from kills made within particular safaris.
		Colonial personnel in Africa prided themselves on interior knowledge, but they took their general orders from metropolitan officials living far away, whether in Mafeking and Cape Town, or the Foreign Office in London and the colonial ministry in Paris.

		These colonies were, from south to north, Lourenço Marques, Inhambane, Manhica e Sofala (administered by the Companhia de Moçambique), Quelimane and Tete (these last two were initially separate, then combined as Zambezia), Moçambique and Niassa (Niassa administered by the Companhia de Niassa).
