A MEMOIR HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL. By Edward F. de Lancey. One of the most venerable and honored members of the Bar of New York, courtly in manners, profound in learning, pure in life, was Marshall Spring Bidwell. Born in the year 1799 at Stockbridge, in that beautiful county of Berkshire, which has given to Massachusetts so many of her greatest men, he became a subject of George the Third, and took successively the oaths of allegiance to George the Fourth, William the Fourth and Victoria, sovereigns of Great Britain. Driven from their dominions in the prime of his life, by the iron hand of arbitrary power, and subsequently besought in vain to return and accept high judicial station, he lived and died a citizen of New York in 1872. A memoir of Mr. Bidwell is not only the biography of an indi- vidual, but a statement of the early history of a new country, — a record of the sufferings of a neighboring people under arbitrary authority, and of their struggles to secure a government of law and justice. Mr. Bidwell was the son of Barnabas Bidwell, a prominent lawyer of Massachusetts and at one time its Attorney-General, who in 181 removed to the province of Ontario, then called Upper Canada. He was educated there under his father's eye. His legal studies began " in March, 181 6, when he was " articled as a clerk under the English system, to Solomon Johns, an attorney of Bath in Upper Canada, and the next month entered as a student at law by the Law Society of that Province. In April, 1821, he was called to the degree of Bar- rister at Law by the same " Law Society of Upper Canada," an in- stitution somewhat analogous to an English " Inn of Court," and having somewhat similar powers ; and three years afterwards, in 1824, he was elected to the Eighth Provincial Parliament as one of the rep- resentatives of the County of Lennox and Addington. In order to arrive at a correct understanding of Mr. Bidwell's peculiar and difficult position during his public life, it will be nec- essary to glance at the history of the Province. At the close of the Revolutionary war, the British Government, it will be recollected, made a scanty provision in her remaining north- ern colonies for those who by remaining faithful to the Crown had 2 Marshall S. Bidwell. [Jan., lost their all. Some went to Nova Scotia, some to New Brunswick, and others to Canada, where they were given, in compensation for their losses, grants of wild land, and other encouragement in the way of petty public offices. These Americans were subsequently distin- '' " " guished by the name of U. E. Loyalists —that is, United Empire Loyalists." A few years after, — in 1791, —an act was passed by the British Parliament dividing the Canadas into two provinces and conferring on each a quasi-constitutional government, under the names of " Lower" and " Upper " Canada. The ministers of the day seem to have run in the old groove, and to have learned nothing from American history. Blind to the palpable fact, which a seven years' war and an inglorious peace ought to have impressed on their minds, that the Constitutions of the old American colonies had not only not prevented, but to som.e extent actually helped to produce, a rebellion, they copied the Canadian constitution almost literally from that of the colony of New York, and gave Upper Canada a Governor, a Council possessing Executive and Legislative powers, and a House of Assembly. The British Cabinet through the Colonial minister appointed the Governor, and the members of the Council. The Assembly was elected by the freeholders. Thus the Canadian legislature consisted osten- of three branches, but in fact for members sibly of only two ; the of the Executive Council, who were the advisers of the Governor, held seats also in the Legislative Council, or Upper House, where were also to be seen the Chief Justice, the Superintendent of the Indian Department, the Receiver General, Inspector General of Ac- counts, and the Surveyor General, who in one chamber made the laws, and only such as pleased them ; for if the acts interfered with their interests, they as the Executive Council advised the Governor to veto them, and he almost invariably complied with their advice. In this connection it is to be borne in mind that the whole of the public lands in Canada, the Clergy Reserves excepted, vv'ere at the disposal of the Executive Council, and thus formed an inexhaustible fund to bribe and buy up at any time a majority of the House of As- sembly, which body numbered at first twenty-five, and subsequently about fifty, members. Add to this that the entire patronage of the province was in fact in the hands and at the disposal of the Council, who appointed every officer from Chief Justice down to tide waiters —Judges, Crown Lawyers, Surrogates, Sheriffs, Magistrates, Officers of Militia, Returning Officers of Election, Heads and Clerks of the several departments,— all were named by, and held their offices during the will and pleasure of, the Executive.

Acknowledgements The only thing greater than the many obligations I incurred during the research and writing of this work is the pleasure that I take in acknowledging those debts. It would have been impossible for me to undertake, much less complete, this project without the support of the institutions and people who helped me along the way. Archival research is the sine qua non of history; mine was funded by numerous grants supporting work in repositories from California to Massachusetts. A Friends Fellowship from the McNeil Center for Early American Studies supported my first year of research in the Philadelphia archives and also immersed me in the intellectual ferment and camaraderie for which the Center is justly renowned. A Dissertation Fellowship from the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History provided months of support to work in the daunting Manuscript Division of the New York Public Library.

  • Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence
    Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence EVAN HAEFELI ISCOVERING new documentation on such a well-studied event as the Salem witch trials is a rare thing. Even rarer Dis contemporary commentary on the trials. Jacob Melyen (i640-1706), a colonial merchant of Dutch origin living in Boston in the summer of 1692, has left us both in the eighty-eight letters copied into his letterbook now located at the American Antiquarian Society. Written mostly in Dutch and concerned pri- marily with his mercantile activity and events in New York, Melyen's letters add to our factual knowledge and illuminate just how troubled many colonists were about what was happening. To help imderstand the significance of the letters and explain why they even exist at all, this essay will outline their context through Melyen's life. It is an important story, joining together the histories of New Netherland, New England, and New York in ways colonial historians often overlook. While there is no evidence that Melyen had any direct involvement in the trials, his letters underscore the vital role New York politics played in this quin- tessentially New England drama.' Given the nature of Melyen's Eor their comments and suggestions on translation and interpretation the author would like to thank Willem Erijhoff, Charles Gehring, Mary Beth Norton, Caroline Sloat, Kevin Sweeney, David William Voorhees, and the anonymous reviewers for this journal. All errors and peculiarities, of course, remain his own. I. Jacob Melyen, Letterbook, 1691-1696, American Antiquarian Society.

SAMUEL PROVOOST, FIRST BISHOP OF NEW YORK.* AN ADDRESS TO THE GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. By Gen. Ja.s. Grant Wilson. [With a Portrait of BishoJ> Provoost.) Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : " It is a pleasing fancy which the elder Disraeli has preserved, somewhere, in amber, that portrait-painting had its origin in the inventive fondness of a girl, who traced upon the wall the iirofile of her sleeping lover. It was an outline merely, but love could always fill it up and make it live. It is the most that I can hope to do for my dear, dead brother. But how many there are—the world-wide circle of his friends, his admiring diocese, his attached clergy, the immediate inmates of his heart, the loved ones of his hearth—from whose informing breath it will take life, reality, and beauty." These beautiful words are borrowed from Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, who used them as an introductory paragraph in a memorial of one of Bishop Pro- voost's successors, Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright.
