Thenceforward, Fletcher lived in amity with successive assemblies, either because the New Yorkers felt that they had gone as far as was prudent with the French on their 1 The New York Historical Society pelling the Farmers of the Excise to lay printed the " Argument before the Lords before the Representatives an Account" of Trade as to the Act of New York com-in 1701 in its Collection for 1869, p. 177. frontier, or because, as Fletcher's successor declared, he had packed the assemblies with his nominees. The appointment of Richard Coote, Earl of Bellomont, in the Irish peerage as governor of New York was decided on in 1695,1 but he did not reach America until 1698. Lord Bellomont was one of those characters peculiar to that epoch who possessed unbounded belief in their own capacity, a limitless lack of confidence in their opponent's good faith or abilities, and a vividness of expression which was common in those days. Coming to New York, he described Fletcher's government as "corrupted and debauched."2 He at once ejected William Nicolls, William Pinhorne, and Chidley Brooke from the Council, asserting that Nicolls had acted as Fletcher's middleman in his dealing with pirates, while Pinhorne was a defaulter who had bought his office of judge.

CHANNING, Edward was born in 1856 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Son of William Ellery Channing and Ellen Fuller.
He graduated from Harvard in 1878 and obtained his Ph.D. there in 1880.
He was appointed instructor in history at Harvard in 1883, becoming assistant professor in 1887 and full professor ten years later. In 1913 he was appointed McLean professor of ancient and modern history, a position he held until he retired in 1929 as professor emeritus. His rough manner did not lead to popularity among his pupils, who, however, respected his wide learning and powers of exposition. His actual teaching diminished after 1890, when he began his most important work, A History of the United States. He was also a contributor to the first two volumes of The Narrative and Critical History of America (1886, 1888).
