sachusetts and the Other Side of the American Revolution_ (1910), and G. A. Gilbert, _The Connecticut Loyalists_ (American Historical Review, IV, 273). For the settlements of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the most important source is _The Winslow Papers_ (edited by W. O. Raymond, 1901), an admirably annotated collection of private letters written by and to Colonel Edward Winslow. Some of the official correspondence relating to the migration is calendared in the Historical Manuscript Commission's _Report on American Manuscripts in the Royal Institution of Great Britain_ (1909), Much material will be found in the provincial histories of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, such as Beamish Murdoch, _A History of Nova Scotia or Acadie_ (3 vols., 1867), and James Hannay, _History of New Brunswick_ (2 vols., 1909), and also in the local and county histories. The story of the Loyalists of Prince Edward Island is contained in W. H. Siebert and Florence E. Gilliam, _The Loyalists in Prince Edward Island_ (Proceedings and Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, 3rd series, IV, ii, 109). An account of the Shelburne colony will be found in T. Watson Smith, _The Loyalists at Shelburne_ (Collections of the Nova Scotia Historical Society, VI, 53). For the settlements in Upper and Lower Canada, the most important source is the Haldimand Papers, which are fully calendared in the Reports of the Canadian Archives from 1884 to 1889. J. McIlwraith, _Sir Frederick Haldimand_ (1904), contains a chapter on 'The Loyalists' which is based upon these papers. The most important secondary source is William Canniff, _History of the Settlement of Upper Canada_ (1869), a book the value of which is seriously diminished by lack of reference to authorities, and by a slipshod style, but which contains a vast amount of material preserved nowhere else. Among local histories reference may be made to C. M. Day, _Pioneers of the Eastern Townships_ (1863), James Croil, _Dundas_ (1861), and J. F. Pringle, _Lunenburgh or the Old Eastern District_ (1891). An interesting essay in local history is L. H. Tasker, _The United Empire Loyalist Settlement at Long Point, Lake Erie_ (Ontario Historical Society, Papers and Records, II). For the later immigration reference should be made to D. C. Scott, _John Graves Simcoe_ (1905), and Ernest Cruikshank, _Immigration from the United States into Upper Canada, 1784-1812_ (Proceedings of the Thirty-ninth Convention o
