moirs of a Huguenot Family (1872). Many of the original documents in the controversy may be found in W. S. Perry, Historical Collections Relating to the American Colonial Church (3 vols., 1870), I. In general consult Charles Campbell, History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia (1859); William Meade, Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of Virginia (1887); Andrew Burnaby, Travels through the Middle Settlements (1759-1760); Richard Bland, Letter to the Clergy (1760); and the other authorities cited in the text.

THE STAMP ACT AND ITS REPEAL

The debates on the Stamp Act in its three stages are in part recorded in Cobbett-Hansard, Parliamentary History, XVI.; and the best account of the resistance in America is given by Richard Frothingham, Rise of the Republic, 158-200. Bancroft's treatment is very full; Lecky has an enlightening discussion; and Hutchinson is helpful throughout the controversy. Among the more important writings called out by the contest are John Dickinson, The Late Regulations (1765); Daniel Dulany, Considerations on the Propriety of Imposing Taxes (1765); Stephen Hopkins, The Rights of the Colonies Examined (1764); on the British side, Martin Howard, Letters from a Gentleman at Halifax (1765); Soame Jenyns, Objections to the Taxation of Our Colonies (1765); and George Grenville, Regulations Lately Made Concerning the Colonies (1765). Franklin's examination is in his Works (Bigelow's ed.), III., 409-450; and the proceedings of the Stamp-Act congress are in Hezekiah Niles, Principles and Acts of the American Revolution; and John Almon, Prior Documents.

TOWNSHEND ACTS

For the colonies the best account of the period of the Townshend acts and the royal orders, 1767-1773, is Richard Frothingham, Rise of the Republic, 201-293. The proceedings in Parliament are in Cobbett-Hansard, Parliamentary History, XVI., and Cavendish, Debates of the House of Com

mons, I. For Massachusetts, Alden Bradfold, State Papers, and Thomas Hutchinson, History of Massachusetts Bay, are in constant requisition. Lecky's account of the Boston "massacre" is just; while Bancroft is prejudiced in the extreme. On this episode see Short Narrative of the Horrid Massacre in Boston (1770); A Fair Account (1770); Frederick Kidder, History of the Boston Massacre (1870); and Richard Frothingham, "Sam Adams Regiments," in Atlantic Monthly, IX., 201, X., 179, XII., 595. J. R. Bartlett, History of the Destruction of the Gaspee (1861), or the same in Rhode Island Colonial Records, VII., 57-192, gives the original papers in this affair. E. D. Collins, in American Historical Association, Report, 1901, I., 243-271, discusses the committees of correspondence; there is an excellent study by J. Franklin Jameson, "Origin of the Standing Committee System in American Legislative Bodies," in Political Science Quarterly, IX.; and a careful monograph by Agnes Hunt, The Provincial Committees of Safety of the American Revolution (1904).

COERCION

Max Farrand, "The Taxation of Tea, 1767-1773," in American Historical Review, III., 266-269, clears up some popular errors regarding the tea acts. Justin Winsor, Narrative and Critical History, VI., 90-96, gives a bibliography of the tea incident and the port bill. The documents relating to the relief of Boston are in Massachusetts Historical Society, Collections, 4th series, IV. The episode of the Hutchinson letters is discussed by Benjamin Franklin, Works (Sparks's ed.), IV., 405-455, and in Peter Orlando Hutchinson, Diary and Letters of Thomas Hutchinson (2 vols., 1883-1886). See also J. K. Hosmer, Samuel Adams (1893); J. T. Morse, Franklin (1892); Sir George Otto Trevelyan, American Revolution (3 vols., 1899-1903), I.; John Bigelow, Life of Franklin (3 vols., 1874); and Copy of Letters sent to Great Britain, by his Excellency Thomas Hutchinson, the Hon. Andrew Oliver, and several other Persons, Born and Educated Among Us (Boston, 1773).

Victor Coffin, The Province of Quebec and the Early American Revolution (University of Wisconsin, Bulletins, I., No. 3, 1896), gives the best account of the Quebec act. See also his Quebec Act and the American Revolution (American Historical Association, Report, 1894); his paper in Yale Review, August, 1895; and Justin Winsor, "Virginia and the Quebec Act," in American Historical Review, I., 436-442. The proceedings of the first and second Continental congresses are in Journals of the American Congress (4 vols., 1823). The proceedings of the congress of 1774 and those of the provincial congress of Massachusetts may also be found in Force, American Archives, 4th series, I. Under the supervision of William Lincoln the state of Massachusetts has also published The Journals of the Provincial Congress in 1774-1775 (1838). On these congresses there is a good paper by Albion W. Small, The Beginnings of American Nationality (Johns Hopkins University Studies, VIII., Nos. 1, 2). On Lexington and Bunker Hill the most important work is Frothingham, The Siege of Boston (4th ed., 1873). See also Charles Francis Adams, "The Battle of Bunker Hill," in American Historical Review, I., 401-413; the bibliographies in Winsor, Handbook, 26-59; and Narrative and Critical History, VI., 174 et seq.
