Excerpt from The History of New-Hampshire, Vol. 2
When the first volume was printed, I had not seen the "Political Annals" of the American Colonies, published in 1780, by George Chalmers, Esq. This gentleman, being in England, was favored with some advantages, of which I was destitute; having access to the books and papers of the Lords of Trade and Plantations, from the first establishment of that Board. He seems to possess the diligence and patience which are necessary in a historian; but either through inadvertence or want of candor, has made some misrepresentations respecting New Hampshire, on which I shall take the liberty to remark.
In page 491, speaking of the first Council, of which President Cutts was at the head, he says, "they refused to take the accustomed oaths, as the English law required, because liberty of conscience was allowed them."
