BEGINNINGS OF ENGLISH COLONIZATION 73 



Authorities. 



Colonial History, during this chapter, becomes almost distinct from 

 general history, and few references to the Domestic Series of State 

 Papers are required. The State Papers should be sought with the 

 Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series, America and the West Indies, 

 1574 et seq., in hand, and the latter can often be used as a substitute 

 instead of as an index— as to which see my note at the end of chapter II. 

 Some slight difficulty occurs owing to the alteration of the titles and 

 numbering of the volumes, especially those relating to the Common- 

 wealth, since the Calendars were published. 5 



In the State Papers Newfoundland begins to have a separate * Entry ) 

 Book ' to itself in 1623, as though its separate history began then. 



Hakluyt, Principal Navigations , 2nd ed. was published in 1599- 

 1600 and is therefore valueless for this chapter, for which Purchas's 

 Pilgrims^ originally published 1625-6, vol. xix, in Maclehose's edition, 

 1906, pp. 406-48, sets apart a special corner containing Guy's and 

 Wynne'g letters, Whitbourne's book, and Guy's patent ; as though 

 Newfoundland had at last begun to be a separate entity with a history 

 of its own.

 Tract on Newfoundland, 1620, ed. by C. W. Tuttle, 1887.

Of secondary authorities : 



H. P. Biggar, Early Trading Companies of New France, 1900. 

 This scholarly work deals with the North American colonies 1497 to 



1633- 



Richard Brown, History of Cape Breton Island, 1 869. 



John Doyle, English in A?nerica, Virginia, Maryland, and the 

 Carolines, 1882 ; The Puritan Colonies, 2 vols., 1887. 



These writers throw side-lights on the external relations of New- 

 foundland. 



Doyle's works are classics in regard to the early history of British 

 colonization generally. 



There are four important histories of the colony of Newfoundland : 



Lewis A. Anspach, History of the Island of Newfoundland, 1819.
