Minutes of the Committee and of the First Commission for Detecting and Defeating Conspiracies in the State of New York, Vol. 1: December 11, 1776 Sept

This volume adds to the printed sources for the history of New York, of the American Revolution and of Loyal ism a little known record of great importance: the minutes of two New York boards for enquiring into, detecting and defeating all conspiracies during the critical year 1777. Dr. Alexander C. Flick's excellent and pertinent study of Loyalism in New York during the American Revolution 1 makes any general discussion of the subject superfluous here, but as he did not, un fortunately, have access to these minutes, a more specific and accurate summary of the history of the two boards seems desirable.
