Louise Greene, The Development of Religious Liberty in Connecticut
(1905), deals with the toleration movement. The various historical
societies print documentary material; but, for the most part, New
England's activity in this decade must be sought in original

MIDDLE STATES.--The state and local histories of the middle region
are more satisfactory on this period, but the political life must be

travelers afford interesting material; and a good view of plantation
life is T.C.
