Sinopsis

Excerpt from Documents Relative to the Colonial History of the State of New-York, Vol. 3: Procured in Holland, England, and France

The commencement of this office. In England is lost in remote antiquity; and as its incumbent was originally appointed by the mere delivery of the King's Signet, there is no existing record of the succession of the Older Secretaries of State.

To the Secretary of State is delegated the authority Of the Crown throughout the Colonies; to him is entrusted the appointment of Ambassadors and other diplomatic functionaries, and the general superintendence and management of the relations with foreign countries; and it likewise belongs to him to exercise the duties of a minister of police, to superintend the domestic and internal government of the country, and to regulate the administration of justice. The Secretary of State is always a Privy Councillor, member of the Cabinet, and of Parliament.
