By Writt of Privy Seale. APPENDIX B LIST OF AUTHORITIES CITED THE longest and most important account of Dudley's life is to be found in Palfrey's History of New England, where his two administrations are treated at length and in detail, but with evident bias. A more modern and better-tempered account of his administration as governor is in Doyle's English Colonies in America. The chief printed American sources for Dudley's career are to be found in the laws and records of the several colonies with which he was connected, and in the collections of the various historical societies. Of these the Collections and Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society are the most important, yielding the Sewall Diary and Letter-Book; the invaluable pamphlets on the "Deplorable State of New-England"; the Winthrop Papers, including as they do many of Dudley's own letters and the letters of Sir Henry Ashurst and John Chamberlayne; the records of Dudley's Council of 1686; and the Council records for the period in 1715, when the Council superseded the Governor. In the Andros Tracts and Toppan's Edward Randolph the Prince Society furnishes valuable material for the early period; and the American Antiquarian Society prints the Andros Records. The American manuscript sources are numerous and rich. The Massachusetts Archives alone contain 273 volumes of invaluable manuscripts, most of which were used by Palfrey, and many of which are printed in the Massachusetts Acts and Resolves. The Journals of the General Court and the transcripts of the Records of the Council are in manuscript at the Massachusetts State House. The Diaries of Cotton Mather, about to be published, are in manuscript at the American Antiquarian Society. The chief printed sources for English material are the Calendars of State Papers, which unfortunately do not cover the period of Dudley's administration as governor, and the two volumes of the Acts of the Privy Council, which were not published at the time this investigation was made. The manuscript sources for English material are rich and varied. The collections of manuscripts at the British Museum and the Bodleian Library, Oxford, furnish some interesting personal material. The manuscript Journals of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, of which Dudley was a member, give information on one phase of his career; and the numerous volumes of Letters of the Society's missionaries throw interesting sidelights on his character. The references in the foregoing pages to the Register of the Privy Council are to the manuscript volumes at the Privy Council Office. Most important of all are the invaluable collections of the Board of Trade at the Public Record Office, London. Here are the manuscript Journals of the Board of Trade, the Colonial Entry Books, and, most interesting of all, the Original Papers containing the original letters and documents sent by the colonial officials to the Board of Trade. Abstracts of these have been printed in the Calendars of State Papers for the early portion of Dudley's career; but for his administration as governor of New Hampshire and Massachusetts it is necessary to depend upon the original manuscripts.
