There is no completely satisfactory history of the See also:state. See also:Johnston's Connecticut is well written, but his theories regarding the relationship between the townships and the state are not generally accepted. by See also:historical scholars. There is' a See also:good See also:chapter in See also:Herbert L. Osgood's History of the See also:American Colonies in the Seventeenth See also:Century (New See also:York, 1904).

Connecticut as a Colony and as a State (See also:

Hartford, 1904; 4 vols.) is written from secondary See also:sources, as also is G. H. Hollister's History of Connecticut (to 1818) (2 vols. Hartford, 1857). Perhaps the most satisfactory historical See also:work is that of See also:Benjamin Trumbull, A See also:Complete History of Connecticut from 1630 to 1764 (New Haven, 1804-1818). E. E. Atwater's History of the Colony of New Haven (New Haven, 1881) is also valuable, and the monograph of C. H. Levermore, " The See also:Republic of New Haven," and that of C. M. Andrews " The See also:River Towns of Connecticut " in The Johns Hopkins University.

Studies (See also:

Baltimore, 1886 and 1889) should be consulted for the institutions of the colonial See also:period. For the sources, see Colonial Records of Connecticut (15 vols., Hartford, 1850-189o); The Records of the Colony and the See also:Plantation of New Haven (2 vols., Hartford, 1857-1858) and Records of the State of Connecticut (2 vols., Hartford, 1894-1895). The Collections (Hartford 186o et seq.) of the Connecticut Historical Society contain valuable material, especially the papers of See also:Governor Joseph Talcott.; and the Papers (New Haven, 1865 et seq.) of the New Haven Colony Historical Society are extremely valuable for See also:local history; but a vast number of documents See also:relating to the colonial and state periods, now in the state library at Hartford, have never been published.
