Note 145 — Chapter I · (continued 2)

In the absence of such a work, the student will find something to his purpose in the Hutchinson Papers (Prince Soc. ed.), ii. 150, 232, 265, 301, 313 et passim; Andros Tracts, ii. 69, 215, 224, 233 et passim; Sewall's Letters, i. 4; Chalmers's Political Annals, in the notes particularly, and in his Introduction to the History of the Revolt of the Colonies; Palfrey, Hist. New England, ii. 444; iii. 276, 279, n. For the commerce and products of Virginia in 1671, and the effect of the navigation laws, see Chalmers's Political Annals, 327; and in 1675, Ibid., 353, 354; and for duties imposed on commerce by colonial assemblies, Ibid., 354, 404. For complaints of British merchants to Charles II. of infractions of the navigation laws by New England, Ibid., 400, 433, 437. See Ramsay's American Revolution, i. 19, 22, 23, 45, 46, 49; and Franklin's Works, iv. 37, for British trade with the colonies. Jefferson's Notes, 277, gives the amount of Virginia exports just before the Revolution. Queries and Answers, relative to the commerce of Connecticut in 1774 (Mass. Hist. Coll., vii. 234), affords much interesting information as to shipping, sailors, and importations from Great Britain, the course and subjects of foreign trade of the colony.
