Excerpt from Laws of New Hampshire, Vol. 2: Including Public and Private Acts and Resolves and the Royal Commissions and Instructions With Historical and Descriptive Notes, and an Appendix; Province Period, 1702-1745 The administration of Joseph Dudley was for many reasons acceptable and advantageous to the people of New Hampshire. It was crowded with important events. The ever present Allen claim was held by the Governor in some degree of subordina tion to the requirements of Queen Anne's war and other vital interests of England viewed as an empire, and New Hampshire as a subordinate or constituent part of that empire. Kimball, Public Life of Joseph Dudley, passim; editorial notes on the administration and On the contemporary statutes, this volume, pp. 1 - 4, 38 - 44. It was expected that Col. Elizeus Burges would come to America as the successor of Governor Joseph Dudley, and exe cute a commission that had been granted to him as Governor of the colony of Massachusetts, and another intended to make him the executive of the province of New Hampshire. He was, however, induced to decline these offices for a consideration provided through their representatives in England by parties interested In the government in Massachusetts. A commission was issued to George Vaughan, contemporaneously with that of Col. Burges, to be lieutenant-governor of the province, and the successor of Mr. Usher. The commission of the Lieutenant Governor required him to pursue the directions of the com mission and instructions of Governor Burges in the execution of his office. If, however, the commission of Col. Burges had been vacated by his declination, it may be a question whether that of Governor Dudley was not the continuing constitution of the province until the arrival of Governor Shute, and the publication of his commission. Editor's notes on the commis sion of Governor Burges, and the administration of Lieutenant Governor Vaughan, this volume, 166, 167; Kimball, Public Life of Joseph Dudley, 174.
