Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Provincial Councillors of Pennsylvania, Who Held Office Between 1733-1776, and Those Earlier Councillors Who Were Some Time Chief Magistrates of the Province, and Their Descendants Under the first Charter, granted by William Penn, in 1682, as a frame of government for Pennsylvania, and extended to the counties of New Castle, Kent, and Sussex on the Delaware, the upper house of the legislature was called the Provincial Council, and was composed of representatives chosen by the people. One-third retired each year, and, to increase the number of persons familiar with such service, it was provided that, after the first seven years, a retiring member should not be again chosen until a year had elapsed. While this Charter continued in force, about eighty persons served as Councillors, among them William Markham, who was the first Lieutenant-Governor under Penn, and Thomas Lloyd, who was also many years at the head of affairs in the Province. During the short period when Pennsylvania was a Royal, as distinguished from a Proprietary Province, eleven persons were appointed as the Council for these parts, Markham again being Lieutenant-Governor. At the surrender of the old Charter, during Penn's second visit to his dominions, he invited a number of persons to act as Councilors, who served until his departure. The Charter of 1701 having made no provision for an Upper House or a Cabinet, he then commissioned ten persons as a Provincial Council, to advise the Lieutenant-Governor whom he or his heirs, true and absolute Proprietaries and Governors, should appoint, and to administer the laws in the absence of such an officer. The Lieutenant-Governors added to this body as occasion required, and it maintained perpetual succession until the American Revolution. Edward Shippen was its first President, and, as such, was the head of the Colony for some time. Of the other Councillors who qualified before the period embraced within this book, those who took the greatest part in public affairs were, with few exceptions, still in office in 1733.

Download or read book Blurred Nationalities across the North Atlantic written by Luca Codignola and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before the mid-nineteenth century, thousands of people were frequently moving between North America – specifically, the United States and British North America – and Leghorn, Genoa, Naples, Rome, Sicily, Piedmont, Lombardy, Venice, and Trieste. Predominantly traders, sailors, transient workers, Catholic priests, and seminarians, this group relied on the exchange of goods across the Atlantic to solidify transatlantic relations; during this period, stories about the New World passed between travellers through word of mouth and letter writing. Blurred Nationalities across the North Atlantic challenges the idea that national origin – for instance, Italianness – constitutes the only significant feature of a group’s identity, revealing instead the multifaceted personalities of the people involved in these exchanges.

In Prestatehood Legal Materials, you will find bibliographies, references, and discussion on a varied list of source materials, including: state codes drafted by Congress county, state, and national archives journals and digests state and federal reports, citations, surveys, and studies books, manuscripts, papers, speeches, and theses town and city records and documents Web sites to help your search for more information and more Prestatehood Legal Materials provides you with brief overviews of state histories from colonization to acceptance into the United States. In this book, you will see how foreign countries controlled the laws of these territories and how these states eventually broke away to govern themselves. The text also covers the legal issues with Native Americans, inter-state and the Mexico and Canadian borders, and the development of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of state government. This guide focuses on materials that are readily available to historians, political scientists, legal scholars, and researchers. Resources that assist in locating not-so-easily accessible materials are also covered. Special sections focus on the legal resources of colonial New York City and Washington, DC—which is still technically in its prestatehood stage. Due to the enormity of this project, the editor of Prestatehood Legal Materials created a Web page where updates, corrections, additions and more will be posted.
