It is particularly useful background material for those colonial jurisdictions which were achieving independent nationhood in the 1960s and facing the divisive problems of granting citizenship to various categories of residents, some, such as imported laborers, alien to the locale.
This is followed by separate sections devoted to each then-existing colony or dependency, with a description of its constitutional structure and a chronological list of the major orders in council, parliamentary acts and reports, etc. relating to the constitution of that jurisdiction.
Main categories of coverage are: the colonial executive and council, the legislative power, the judiciary and bar, appeals from the colonies, and the imperial statutes relative to the colonies.

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.

 Leslie V. Brock: 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.
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.
