Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Political History of the Province of New York This outline of the Political History of the Province of New York was originally presented to the Faculty of the School of Political Science, Columbia College. It was written in part fulfillment of the conditions necessary for the attainment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and having been favorably received, I am led to issue a few copies of it for two reasons. First: because I have found no connected and condensed statement of the events of constitutional importance during that period. In the smaller histories of the state these facts are generally ignored, and in the more voluminous works and collections of historical documents they are so scattered and wanting in sequence, that much time and labor are necessary to establish their relation and significance. Again: I am convinced that the important influence of the colonial constitution on the political structure of our state has been and is undervalued from want of familiarity. If this is true, then every effort - however slight - that serves to call attention to it is an act of justice to our history that needs no apology.
