  • Puritans, Lawyers, and Politics in Early Seventeenth Century England
    REVIEWS PURITANS, LAWYERS, AND POLITICS IN EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ENG- LAND. By John Dykstra Eusden. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1958. Pp. xii, 238. $4.50. THE preface of this book reveals a scholar functioning in the best tradition of his profession. Aware that scholarship is fundamentally a cooperative enter- prise and yet that an author must ultimately "stand alone," Eusden acknowl- edges an indebtedness to many and modestly rates his own contribution to historical knowledge. Candidly, also, he confesses having had to abandon a conjecture which intrigued him, for "the evidence of Puritan influence on common law and vice versa did not materialize."1 He retreats to a relationship between Puritanism and common law which he is able amply to support, "one of ideological parallelism." His analysis concerns the substance of what men perseveringly wanted and manifestly expressed in the early seventeenth century, not with what the twentieth century might articulate for them. For his period of intensive study he takes the years 1603 to 1630, which were sketched in broader strokes by Notestein in his The English People on the Eve of Colonization.2 Although the first five chapters of the Eusden book deal with ideas and events familiar to students of the seventeenth century, the author engages in an organization of this material essential to his purpose. The Puritans of his study comprise three groups who worked together in their common predicament but were differentiated by their concepts of church organization-the Puritan Anglicans, the Presbyterians, and the Independents or pre-Civil-War "nonseparating Congregationalists," who favored an estab- lished but loosely federated church.

  • The Gaspee Affair As Conspiracy by Lawrence J
    The Gaspee Affair as Conspiracy By Lawrence J. DeVaro, Jr. Rhode Island History, October 1973, pp. 106-121 Digitized and reformatted from .pdf available on-line courtesy RI Historical Society at: http://www.rihs.org/assetts/files/publications/1973_Oct.pdf On the afternoon of June 9, 1772, His Majesty's schooner Gaspee grounded on a shoal called Namquit Point in Narragansett Bay. From the time of their arrival in Rhode Island's waters in February, the Gaspee and her commander, Lieutenant William Dudingston, had been the cause of much commercial frustration of local merchants. Dudingston was insolent, described by one local newspaper as more imperious and haughty than the Grand Turk himself. Past accounts of his pettish nature followed him from port to port.[1] The lieutenant was also shrewd. Aware that owners of seized vessels — rather than navy captains deputized in the customs service — would triumph in any cause brought before Rhode Island's vice-admiralty court, Dudingston had favored the district vice-admiralty court at Boston instead, an option available to customs officials since 1768.[2] Aside from threatening property of Rhode Islanders through possible condemnation of seizures, utilization of the court at Boston invigorated opposition to trials out of the vicinage, a grievance which had irritated merchants within the colony for some time.[3] Finally the lieutenant was zealous — determined to be a conscientious customs officer even if it meant threatening Rhode Island's flourishing illicit trade in non-British, West-Indian molasses. Governor Joseph Wanton of Rhode Island observed that Dudingston also hounded little packet boats as they plied their way between Newport and Providence.
