For the same period, however, consult C . W . Spencer, Phases of Royal Government in New York, 1691-1719 (Columbus, 1905) . John Fiske, The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America (2 vols., Boston, 1900) is admirable in its generalizations but unreliable in its details .

G . W . Schuyler, Colonial New York:

Philip Schuyler and his Family (2 vols., New York, 1885) is a family history, but especially valuable in the study of Indian affairs and the intermarriages of the landed families . A . C . Flick's Loyalism in Ners York during the American Revolution (New York, 1901) and H . P . Johnston's Campaign of 1776 around New York and Brooklyn (Brooklyn, 1878) are thorough studies . For the military history of the War of Independence see also Justin Winsor's Narrative and Critical History of America, vol. vi . (Boston, 1888) . For strictly political history see a series of articles by Carl Becker in the American Historical Review, vols. vi., vii. and ix., and the Political Science Quarterly, vol. xviii., J . D .

Hammbnd's History of Political Parties in the

State of New York (2 vols., Albany, 1842) and D . S . Alexander's Political History of the State of New York (3 vols., New York, 1906-1909) . See also E . P . Cheney, The Anti-Rent Agitation in the State of New York (Philadelphia, 1887) ; Charles McCarthy, " The Anti-Masonic Party " in vol. i. pp . 365-574 of the Annual Report for 1902 of the American Historical Association; N .
