Law When Governor Talcott died, Jonathan Law, the lieu- 1 7 0 6 tenant-governor, was promoted. When the Spanish war 1 7 4 5 broke out, Connecticut freely gave both men and money. Governor Of her sons who joined Vernon's expedition, few ever saw their homes again. When Shirley proposed his expedition against Louisburg, Governor Law convoked the general court in special session and Lieutenant-governor Roger Wolcott led the Connecticut contingent. When peace came, Connecticut was loaded with a heavy debt, a new experience then, but a burden that long weighed upon her people. By Connecticut law every man was required to con- Church and tribute according to his ability to the support of the State settled ministers an arrangement that had worked fairly well for sixty years. About 1706, a missionary of the church of England began to preach in Stratford and, in 1722, another Iwas settled there. The members of this church objected to supporting their own minister and paying rates for the Congregational minister too. They therefore showed a disposition to appeal to English law-the very last thing that Connecticut desired. In 1727, the general court, loosening the bonds between church and state, made it possible for an Episcopalian church to be established in any town, its members to be exempt from paying rates for the Congregational establishment and to be obliged to pay taxes for the support of their own minister. They who were not members Connecticut Act Relative to Taxation for the of any church were still obliged to pay their rates to the I 7 3 4 "prime ancient society." In 1729, the Baptists and the I 7 4 5 Quakers were given the benefit of the act of 1727. Spiritual The revival that followed the earthquake of 1727 had Revivification relieved the spiritual drought that was upon the people, but "the goodness of many appeared like the morning cloud and early dew which goeth away." The revival of 1734, nurtured by Jonathan Edwards, prepared the soil for the seed and, in 1740, came Whitefield and the "great awakening." In 1745, Whitefield revisited Connecticut and the general association resolved that it would not be wise for ministers to admit him to their pulpits nor for the people to attend his meetings. In the meantime had come a swarm of lay exhorters with fantastic doctrines and with "noise and out-cry, both of distress and joy, in time of divine service" and the "New Light" schism. The Separatists at Stonington elected their first minister by revelation. In less than one year they chose him, ordained him, silenced him, cast him out of the church, and delivered him up to Satan. The authorized clergy and the general court joined hands for the suppression of the heresy. When the seceders refused to pay the rates levied for the support of the ministry that they had rejected, the property of some was sold for less than its real value and others were taken to jail. "A faint flavor of the Inquisition began to pervade the ecclesiastical system of the colony." Τ' HE following lists are intended to be helpful to the student of this volume by way of suggestion for supplementary reading; they are not offered as complete lists of works consulted by the author. Helpful suggestions are contained in the paragraph introductory to the bibliographical appendix to the first volume of this work. Valuable side-lights on many of the topics herein considered may be found in other general histories of the United States, such as Bancroft's, Hildreth's, etc., some of which are cited in the appendix to the first volume. As the reader can easily find what he wants by reference to the indexes of those works, the following lists omit such references. The general arrangement of this bibliography is similar to that used in the preceding volumes. CHAPTER I-CAROLINA NOTE. There is a remarkable deficiency of printed authorities for early Carolina history. We have no formal record of the legislative proceedings in North Carolina in the seventeenth century and those for South Carolina are few and scanty until after the overthrow of the proprietary government. As the two practically distinct colonies were under the government of a single corporation, the documents relating to either one are sadly mixed with those of the other. I Andrews, Charles M.
