Excerpt from Historical Notes of the American Colonies and Revolution, From 1754 to 1775 The following Historical Notes of the American Colonies were compiled by the late william griffith, Esq., of New Jersey, and were designed as an Introduction to his law register. They were printed in his life time, and left incomplete, in the state in which they are now published. It is to be regretted that he had not completed them. Under a belief, however, that they contain much useful information, and that the labors bestowed upon them may not be lost, they are now offered to the public. A History of the United States upon the plan of which he speaks in his preface, would be a most valuable Work, in the accomplishment of which, the following Notes might afford to the author considerable aid.
