Note 443 — Chapter II · (continued 3)

Documentary sources respecting this prolonged controversy will be found in William Slade, Jr.’s Vermont State Papers, being a collection of records and documents connected with the assumption and establishment of government by the people of Vermont (Middlebury, 1823); in Documents and Records relating to New Hampshire, vol. x.; in O’Callaghan’s Doc. Hist. New York, vol. iv. pp. 329-625, with a map; in the Fund Publications of the N. Y. Hist. Society, vol. iii., and in the Historical Magazine (1873-74), vol. xxi. Henry Stevens, in the preface (p. vii.) of his Bibliotheca Historica (1870), refers to a collection of papers formed by his father, Henry Stevens, senior, of Barnet, Vermont. The first volume of the Collections of the Vermont Hist. Soc. had other papers, the editing of which was sharply criticised by H. B. Dawson in the Historical Magazine, Jan., 1871; with a reply by Hiland Hall in the July number (p. 49). The controversy was continued in the volume for 1872, Mr. Hall issuing fly leaves of argument and remonstrance to the editor’s statements.
