Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, 1908, Vol. 2 Among our losses we have specially to regret the death of Mr. J. A. Doyle, the historian of the colonial period of the history of the present United States. Of his fiye volumes the first was published in 1882. He had other interests and pursuits, and we had to wait a long time for the completion of his work his last two volumes appeared a few months before his death. As an historian he faithfully adhered to the rule which he laid down for himself in the Preface to his History of the Puritan Colonies, ' never to be content with any authority short of the best that could be had, and his work is not less distinguished by the thorough ness with which he treated every side of his subject than it is by the accuracy of his statements and the soundness of his conclusions.
