EUROPEAN THEATRE From June 29, 1775, to Aug. 9, 1775 EUROPEAN THEATRE From June 29, 1775, to August 9, 1775 SUMMARY Even the news of Lexington had not aroused George I11 or his Ministers to the seriousness of the revolt in the American colonies. Were not three major generals and three more regiments of infantry already on the high seas to rein- force Thomas Gage's force? And had not the Admiralty been ordered to aug- ment Samuel Graves's squadron by such a number of frigates as would suffice to secure obedience to the Restrictive Acts recently enacted, and prevent succour from the southern colonies reaching New England? Hhere seemed little doubt in the British mind that with "One tolerable Drubbing," rebel resistance would collapse. Warnings from Whig leaders that conquest would not be so simple, and that possible loss of the American colonies would leave the Empire an easy prey to revengeful France, were discounted as political clap-trap. France was in no position to capitalize upon the American troubles, and her partner, Spain, engrossed in the Mediterranean, could be discounted entirely. So thought the Ministry. As far as concerned Spain, this conclusion was justified.

THE DILEMMA OF THE AMERICAN LAWYER IN THE POST-REVOLUTIONARY ERA Anton-Hermann Chroust* On the eve of the Revolution the legal profession in the American colonies,' in the main, had achieved both distinction and recognition. It had come to enjoy the respect as well as the confidence of the people at large. This is borne out, for instance, by the fact that twenty-five of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence, and thirty-one of the fifty-five members of the Constitutional Convention were lawyers. Of the thirty-one lawyers who attended the Constitutional Convention, no less than five had studied law in England.2 The American Revolution itself, directly and indirectly, affected the legal profession in a variety of ways. First, the profession itself lost a considerable number of its most prominent members; secondly, a bitter antipathy against the lawyer as a class soon made itself felt throughout the country; thirdly, a strong dislike of everything English, including the English common law became wide- spread; and fourthly, the lack of a distinct body of American law as well as the absence of American law reports and law books for a while made the administra- tion of justice extremely difficult and haphazard.

HARVARD C OLLEGE LIBRARY t ✓ -t-O t ^ —fro/I- .- f [•RES8F O CA8B, TIFrANY AND COMPANY, HARTFORD, CONN. PREFACE. The f ollowing pages contain a selection from the Gene alogical Notes made by my uncle, Nathaniel Goodwin, from time to time after his appointment to the office of Judge of Probate for the district of Hartford, in 1833, and prepared for publication by him during the last three or four of the latter years of his life. They were not designed by him to be complete genealogies even of the families which * are t reated of, but, as the title indicates, genealogical notes to assist others in tracing out their family histories. Mr. Goodwin had begun to print the work, making his final cor rections as the proof-sheets were brought to him, and had proceeded as far as page 68, when the printing was suspend ed, as he hoped temporarily, by a severe attack of disease, but as the event proved, finally, so far as he was concerned, by his death. At his request, made a few days before his death, and the desire of his executors, the manuscripts were placed in the hands of Henry Barnard, LL. D., President of the Connecticut Historical Society, who had rendered my uncle similar aid in his former publications, to see through the press ; but the pressure of his engagements obliged him, after the supervision of some fifty pages, to relinquish all further care of the work, beyond preparing a iv P REFACE.

    Aspects of the Beginning of the American Revolution in Massachusetts Bay y 1760-1762 BY LAWRENCE HENRY GIPSON T IS one of the ironies of the history of the old British I Empire that William Pitt, the idol of the American colonials, should have been responsible for helping to lay the foundation of what was to become the War for American Independence. In the midst of the French and Indian War, a phase of what I call the Great War for the Empire, and in the face of what he described some weeks later in a circular letter to the governors of the colonies, under date of August 23, 1760, as "an illegal and most pernicious Trade," Pitt ordered the strict enforcement of the trade and navigation acts, so as to bring those "henious Offenders to the most exemplary and Condign Punishment," who persisted in supplying the enemy with provisions and other necessities, thus protracting "this long and expensive War."^ What is more, he meant what he said and utilized the navy as well as the customs service to help stamp out this trade. Unhappily, Pitt, in taking the above step, struck at the very lucrative activities of those who, he felt, were putting self-interest above the welfare of the Empire. The mer- • Correspondence of William Pitt. (ed. G. S. Kimball, New York, 1906), II, 320-321. In the instructions that were issued to Sir Francis Bernard on March 18, 1760, as the newly appointed Governor of Massachusetts Bay, he was called upon to "be aiding and assisting to the collectors and other officers of our admiralty and customs in putting (the acts of trade] in execution" (Bernard Papers, XIII, 149, 196, Houghton Library, Harvard University).
