    TUB PBBlOD 01' THE FIBST CHARTER, 1648-63. 80 Although there is not space here to allude in detail to the provisions of this code, the remarks of Judge Staples on the subject, written over fifty years ago, should certainly be quoted. These early legislators, he says, c, began at the foundation, and adopted a bill of rights which secured all that their ancestors had wrested from their kings, and which their countrymen had subsequently lost, and were then endeav­ oring to regain. They clothe them in language too plain not to be understood. They were a simple people, and the language of their laws was such 88 a people would naturally use. They regarded them­ selves, within the scope of their charter, as the only source of power among them, and they in practice declared 'that their government derived all its just powers from the consent of the governed'. They expressly declared their government to be a democracy, or Cgovern­ ment held by the consent of all the free inhabitants'. This declaration was 88 heterodox in the political systems of that day, as were their notions of soul-liberty. ... Tbis code, and the acts and orders p88lled at its adoption, constituted the fundamentallaw8 of the colony while the charter remained in force. The alterations made in them during that period were rather formal than substantial. Their spirit remained unchanged, and has been infused into all the subsequent legislation of the colony and state".! CHAPTER VII. THE PERIOD OF THE FIRST CHARTER, 1648-68. The people of Rhode Island had started the-machinery of their new framework of government, but they were poorly qualified to keep the machine running smoothly and easily.

EDITED BY 0. EVELEIGH WOODRUFF, M.A. INTRODUCTION THE thirty-two letters and petitions which, by the courtesy of the Dean and Chapter, I have been permitted to trans- cribe, and now to offer to the Kent Archasological Society for pubhcation, were written—with the exception of three or four—in the seventeenth century, on the eve of the troublous times which culminated in the overthrow of Church and King, or in the years immediately fohowing the restoration of the monarchy when deans and chapters, once more in possession of their churches, and estates, were reviving the worship and customs which had been for many years in abeyance. One letter, however, is of earher date than the seventeenth century and three are later. Thus number one is from the pen of Dr. Nicholas Wotton, the first dean of the New Eoundation. Wotton, who was much employed in affairs of state, did not spend much time at Canterbury. His letter, which is dated from London, February 11th, 1564-5, is addressed to his brethren the prebendaries of Canterbury, and its purport is to inform them that Sir Thomas Gresham has offered to build, at his own proper cost and charges, a new Royal Exchange in the city of London.

    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

  • The Narragansett Planters 49

    The Narragansett Planters 49

    1933.] The Narragansett Planters 49 THE NARRAGANSETT PLANTERS BY WILLIAM DAVIS MILLER HE history and the tradition of the "Narra- T gansett Planters," that unusual group of stock and dairy farmers of southern Rhode Island, lie scattered throughout the documents and records of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and in the subse- quent state and county histories and in family genealo- gies, the brevity and inadequacy of the first being supplemented by the glowing details of the latter, in which imaginative effort and the exaggerative pride of family, it is to be feared, often guided the hand of the chronicler. Edward Channing may be considered as the only historian to have made a separate study of this community, and it is unfortunate that his monograph. The Narragansett Planters,^ A Study in Causes, can be accepted as but an introduction to the subject. It is interesting to note that Channing, believing as had so many others, that the unusual social and economic life of the Planters had been lived more in the minds of their descendants than in reality, intended by his monograph to expose the supposed myth and to demolish the fact that they had "existed in any real sense. "^ Although he came to scoff, he remained to acknowledge their existence, and to concede, albeit with certain reservations, that the * * Narragansett Society was unlike that of the rest of New England."
