The Historical Geography of Europe, Vol. I, Text

by Edward A. Freeman

[89] The Tudor kings were doubtless of British descent; but they did not reign by virtue of that descent, and they did not come in till ages after the English kingdom was completely formed.

[90] See Norman Conquest, vol. i. p. 580.

[91] It should be remembered that the principality became the appanage of the eldest son only by accident. The first English prince, afterwards Edward the Second, was not his father’s eldest son at the time of his creation. The title moreover is newly created each time.

[92] See Norman Conquest, vol. i. p. 48; and Macmillan’s Magazine, April, 1880.

[93] The Latin colonia certainly does not imply independence; but, the word colony, in our use of it, rather answers to the Greek ἀποικία which does.

[94] It may be well to give the dates in order:—

Plymouth	1620
Massachusetts	1628
New Hampshire	1629
Connecticut	1635
Newhaven	1638
Providence	1644
Rhode Island	1634
Maine	1638
New Hampshire annexed by Massachusetts	1641
Rhode Island and Providence united	1644
Connecticut and Newhaven united	1664
New Hampshire separated from Massachusetts	1671
Maine purchased by Massachusetts	1677
Plymouth and Massachusetts united	1691
