Note 146 — III. SIR EDMUND ANDROS.

Reading edition

Beverly, History of Virginia, i. 37. C. W. (Charles Wolley), A. M., A Two Years’ Journal in New York. For an unfavorable account, Coll. Mass. Hist. Soc., v. 124–166, “An Account of the Present State and Government of Virginia.” The Sainsbury Papers, in the State Library at Richmond, Va., are transcripts and abstracts from the London originals, of all official papers of this period, relating to Virginia, and an examination of them made in 1892, through the kindness of the State Librarian, gave strong corroboration of the view of Andros’s administration presented by Wolley and Beverly, and presented Blair and his friends in a less amiable light than they have presented themselves. Cf. Meade, Old Churches and Families of Virginia, i. 107, 108. Perry, History of the American Episcopal Church, vol. i. chapter vii.
