rovince was again called New Netherland. For many years there were sharp disputes between New Netherland and its colonial neighbors concerning boundary lines. On Sept. 19, 1650, Governor Stuyvesant arrived at Hartford, and demanded of the commissioner of the Connecticut colony a full surrender of the lands on the Connecticut River. After a consultation for several days, it was agreed to leave the matter to arbitrators. The commissioner chose Simon Bradstreet, of Massachusetts, and Thomas Prince, of Plymouth; Stuyvesant chose Thomas Willett and George Baxter, both Englishmen. It was agreed that on Long Island a line should be drawn from the westernmost part of Oyster Bay straight to the sea; the easterly part to belong to the English, the remainder to the Dutch. On the mainland a line should begin at the west side of Greenwich Bay, about 4 miles from Stamford, and run northerly 20 miles; and beyond that distance, as it should be agreed by the two governments of the Dutch and N
Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Prince, Thomas 1687-1758 (search)
Prince, Thomas 1687-1758 Clergyman; born in Sandwich, Mass., May 15, 1687; graduated at Harvard College in 1707, and, going to England in 1709, preached there until 1717, when he returned to America, and was ordained minister of the Old South Church, Boston (1718), as colleague of Dr. Sewall. In 1703 he began a collection of private and public papers relating to the civil and religious history of New England, and continued these labors for fifty years. These he published under the title of The chronological history of England (1736 and 1756). The history was brought down only to 1633, as he spent so much time on the introductory epitome, beginning with the creation. His manuscripts were deposited in the Old South Church, and were partially destroyed by the British in 1775-76. The remains, with his books, form a part of the Public Library of Boston. He died in Boston, Oct. 22, 1758.

Prince, or Prence, Thomas 1601-1673 Colonial governor; born in England in 1601; arrived in America in 1628; and was governor of Plymouth from 1634 to 1673. He was one of the first settlers at Nanset, or Eastham, in 1644, and lived there until 1663; was a zealous opposer of the Quakers, as heretics, though not a persecutor of them; and was an earnest champion of popular education. In spite of the opposition and clamors of the ignorant, he procured resources for the support of grammar-schools in the colony. He died in Plymouth, Mass., March 29, 1673.

It remained in the hands of the family of the author for a hundred years and finally came into the possession of the Rev. Thomas Prince, who used it in writing his Chronological history, published in 1736. Hutchinson also used it in preparing his History. When Prince died he left the man from Morton's Memorial and Winthrop's journal. After these two sources are exhausted the book becomes meagre and inaccurate. A much better writer was the Rev. Thomas Prince, of Boston, whom we have encountered in connection with Bradford's manuscript. The preservation of documents and rare pamphlets was to him a labour of lo

impersonal kindliness of manner. Instead, they vented their hatred of dogmatism and intolerance in personalities so insolent as to become in themselves intolerant. Entertaining, however, the Courant is, from first to last, and full of a genuine humour and a shrewd satiric truth to life. Offensive as the Courant certainly was to New England orthodoxy, its literary method was seized upon and used in the new paper established under the influence of the Boston clergymen Mather Byles and Thomas Prince. This was The New England weekly journal, and Mather Byles, hailed at the time as Harvard's honour and New England's hope, who bids fair to rise, and sing, and rival Pope See Book I, Chap. IX. contributed largely to the verse and prose on the first page of the paper. A series of Speculations is announced, in exact and close imitation of The Spectator; even a fictitious author, Proteus Echo, appears as a new Spectator of men and manners, to banter a folly by representing it in a g
