It would serve no good purpose to attempt here an exhaustive account of the printed sources relating to the United Empire Loyalists. All that can be done is to indicate some of the more important. The only general history of the Loyalists is Egerton Ryerson, _The Loyalists of America and Their Times_ (2 vols., 1880); it is diffuse and antiquated, and is written in a spirit of undiscriminating admiration of the Loyalists, but it contains much good material. Lorenzo Sabine, _Biographical Sketches of Loyalists of the American Revolution_ (2 vols., 1864), is an old book, but it is a storehouse of information about individual Loyalists, and it contains a suggestive introductory essay. Some admirable work on the Loyalists has been done by recent American historians. Claude H. Van Tyne, _The Loyalists in the American Revolution_ (1902), is a readable and scholarly study, based on extensive researches into documentary and newspaper sources. The Loyalist point of view will be found admirably set forth in M. C. Tyler, _The Literary History of the American Revolution_ (2 vols., 1897), and _The Party of the Loyalists in the American Revolution_ (American Historical Review, I, 24). Of special studies in a limited field the most valuable and important is A. C. Flick, _Loyalism in New York_ (1901); it is the result of exhaustive researches, and contains an excellent bibliography of printed and manuscript sources. Other studies in a limited field are James H. Stark, _The Loyalists of Massachusetts 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).
