	Government-Boyd
		in the colony the court should recommend three persons “as they shall think most fit and able” to the governor, who was empowered to select one of the nominees to be sheriff for the next two years.
		To remedy this evil it was provided that no county court should recommend to the governor any person who had served two years successively, unless he could produce a certificate from the treasurer of his district saying that he had fully accounted for and delivered all public taxes he had received as sheriff.
		Governor Tryon saw the weakness of the system of collecting the public taxes and the abuses to which it was liable.

	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.

	Parker-chapter 4
		The Governor’s salary, which was probably the largest fixed expenditure for any one phase of the government of the colony, was paid from the quit-rents, as we have seen; while the Treasurer and many other officials imposed fees and also received part of the impost duties on liquors for their upkeep.
		The people in the American colonies were greatly agitated; they argued that the restrictions concerning imports and exports, which England had heretofore imposed on her colonies had had as their object the increase and regulation of commerce, while the newly proposed act was inspired by an entirely different consideration.
		As the colony grew and the population spread westward, the wealthy planters in the east who had hitherto had the sole voice in political affairs, began to realize that their less wealthy but energetic fellow colonists in the west were becoming influential in such matters.

		Counter circulars were sent to the several colonies, warning them to beware imitating the factious and rebellious conduct of Massachusetts; but they entirely failed to produce the intended effect, and the assemblies in several of the colonies were dissolved by the respective governors.
		In 1769, the assemblies of Virginia and North Carolina were dissolved by their governors, for adopting resolutions boldly denying the right of the King and parliament to tax the colonies—to remove offenders out of the country for trial—and other acts which infringed upon the sacred rights of the people.
		In 1774, when the various colonial assemblies entertained the proposition for a general congress, they were nearly all dissolved by the respective governors, to prevent the adoption of the scheme and the election of delegates to that national council.

		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.
		In a colony where a specie standard prevailed and bills of credit were not issued as war finance measures, as was the case in Massachusetts between 1750 and 1775, the price of exchange fluctuated in harmony with that in New York and Pennsylvania, but the fluctuations were not so great.

	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.

	Table of Contents: Colonial Botany
		Colonial botany—the study, naming, cultivation, and marketing of plants in colonial contexts—was born of and supported European voyages, conquests, global trade, and scientific exploration.
		Colonial botany developed along with a web of trade routes, and was informed by patterns of commerce and naval prowess that kept them open.
		In a reconstruction of the nutmeg skirmishes on the Isle de France (Mauritius) in the 1750s, she shows that the explosive rivalry among colonial botanists for metropolitan Crown patronage rather than disinterested comparison of species across continents was central to the scientific identification of the commercially valuable nutmeg.

		The author's description of the colony's trades fostered an image of an industrious and prolific society; it was a way of countervailing the ill-founded assumptions in Europe that Mexico's population was predominantly idle and culturally inert.
		It is well-known that throughout the colonial period unassimilated groups of Indians, inhabiting northern Mexico, aroused great fear among the population; their conversion to the Christian faith was a constant preoccupation of colonial authorities.

		After 1691, one of the more significant sub-themes running through the history of the provincial Assembly is the struggle between Assembly representatives for colonial (American) rights and prerogatives and the British or Imperial agenda personified by the royal governors.
		The Assembly's right to raise monies for governmental operations (not the least of which was the governor's salary and expenses) fostered a tension and also a working relationship between the two polar interests that culminated in the so-called American Revolutions of 1775-83.

	The Colonial Virginia Register (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		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.

	The Charter of Dartmouth College
		Eleazar Wheelock, who had operated Latin and Indian schools in Connecticut since the mid-1730s and a collegiate department of Moor's School since 1768, drafted Dartmouth's charter during the spring and summer of 1769; it is written in the voice of King George III (the royal "we," referring to "our trusty and well beloved John Wentworth").
		Wheelock sent it to The Royal Governor of the Province of New Hampshire, John Wentworth, during August, and Wentworth granted the charter to Dartmouth College on December 13, 1769.
		This act was the last royal chartering of a college in the North American Colonies that would become the United States: the crown itself or colonial governments had granted eight charters earlier, of which seven had so far created institutions in operation.

	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.
