Numbering of volumes. No minutes exist for the period direcij'- following the surrender of New Netherland to the English, Aug. 29, i6f ,, the earHest being those of the council convened by Gov. Francis Lovelace, Sep. 2, 1668. Many of the executive acts of Gov. Richard Nicolls's administration are to be found in " General entries 1664-65 " and " Got ! of assize, 1665-72," which volumes were for that reason listed by Jolin Van Ness Yates in his Report of the secretary of state relative to the records , etc. in his office, 1820, as i and 2 of a set of 33 volumes of colonial counc ' minutes and general entries, while the first volume of regular council minut 1668-78 was marked 3. This volume consists of two parts; the first em;- ing July II, 1673, and the second beginning Oct. 31, 1674. Minutes f( the intervening period of Dutch control are found in " New York coloni,,' mss", 23: 1-270 and have been translated and printed as "Minutes c: council of the administrations of commanders Evertsen and Benckes and of Anthony Colve, governor of New Netherland, 1673 and 1674", i-^ Docitments relative to the colonial history of the state of New York , 2 : 569 730. Toward the end of the second part of the volume another interruptio in the minutes occurs from Nov. 10, 1677-Aug. 17, 1678, including th period of Gov. Edmund Andros's visit to England and the temporar; administration of Capt, Anthony Brockholls. Minutes for this perioC maybe found in '■'■ New York colonial mss ", vol. 26-27. A volume of " General entries 1671-74 " having been marked 4, the next volume of council minutes, covering the years 1683-88 is marked 5 4 NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY leaving a gap from 1678 to 1683; part of the minutes for that period, up to November 1680, may be found in "New York colonial mss " vol. 29, while other executive acts are recorded in " General entries 1678- 80," vol. 32, and " Entries 1682-83," vol. 33. A gap in the council minutes occurs again between vol. 5, breaking off with the last council under Gov. Thomas Dongan Aug. 2, 1688, and vol. 6 beginning with the first council under Gov. Henry Sloughter, Mar. 19, 1691. For the first year of this period, when New York was united with New England under Gov. Sir Edmund Andros, no regular proceedings are among the New York archives, but for the years 1689-91, covering the administration of Jacob Leisler, a full record of commissions, appointments, orders, accounts, etc. with numerous letters are found in vol. 36 of " New York colonial mss.'' After vol. 6 the minutes form one uninterrupted series till Mar. 11,1776. A few pages of minutes of the councils of Gov. James Robertson and Lt.-gov. Andrew Elliott from Mar. 23, 1780-Nov. 19, 1783, held at New York city then in the hands of the British are also recorded. Legislative minutes. Beginning with the first regular colonial legis- lature, convened in 1691 by Gov. Sloughter, the council became a legislative body, coordinate with the assembly. Its legislative minutes have been printed as the Journal of the legislative coimcil of the colony of New York begun the gth day of Ap. i6gi and ended the jd day of Ap. 177S, 2 v. Alb. 1 86 1, and for that reason are not entered in this calendar. In vol. 6-8, executive and legislative minutes are kept separate, the latter at the end of each volume. Vol. 6 contains also the minutes of the council in its judicial capacity 1687-88, and vol. 7, proceedings of the court of oyer and terminer, 1679-85. In vol. 9-17, 1702-36, the two functions were mingled and the minutes printed as legislative have been marked by a pen or pencil line in the margin. Vol. 18, 20, 22, 24, 27, 28 and 30 contain only legislative minutes and were printed entire, as also some minutes of 1775-76, found in vol. 26. Of the greater part of these minutes the state library has two and in some cases even three copies. The first and most complete set described above and used for the compilation of this calendar, consists of engrossed minutes except vol. 9-1 1, which are made up of blank books of rough copies. The second set, covering with some interruptions the years 1709-76, consists entirely of blank books from which a few minutes not found in the bound volumes of engrossed minutes have been inserted in the calendar. The third set containing the original drafts of the pro- ceedings of 1754-75 are in the form of loose sheets. A. J. F. VAN Laer 4 V. 0.

For a temporary administration the date of the governor's departure has been chosen in preference to that of the appointment or the oath of office in council of his lieutenant. Beginning with Sir Danvers Osborne, 10 Oct. 1753, all dates are given according to new style; for preceding dates, old style has been used in conformity with the records. Indiscriminate use of old style and new style dates in Civil list of New York, New York legislative manual and Harper's book of facts will account for most of the discrepancies. The list of members of the council printed below, is taken from Civil list of the colony and state of New York, Alb. 1889, p. 363-64. 29 Aug. 1664 23 May 1668^ 30 July 1673 9 Sep. 31 Oct. 16 Nov. 8 Aug. 7 Jan. 27 Aug.

If there are few references to the same form of name they are grouped together, though referring to more than one person, unless the text furnishes some means of distinction. The same method is followed for names under which there is a large number of entries when many can not be certainly identified. In cases of different spellings of what might be the same name, if the identity seemed certain, entries have been made under one form with references from other forms; if uncertain, entries are made under the different forms, with cross references. As it is quite unlikely that all such cases have been recognized, it will be well to have at hand all pos- sible variants of a name one wishes to find. Where surname alone or with a distinguishing title is given the person may be identical with one entered later under full name. The superior figures tell the exact place on the page in ninths; e. g. 558* means page 558 beginning in the third ninth of the page, i. e. about one third of the way down.
