1763-Lord Halifax. Aug. 1766-Lord Shelburne. 10. The Secretaries of State for the American Department were 1768-Lord Hillsborough. 1775-Lord G. Sackville Germaine. II. In 1782 the American secretaryship was abolished by Burke's Act, together with the Board of Trade, and between 1782 and 1786 colonial affairs were dealt with by the Home Office. Their management was transferred in 1786 to a committee of the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations established pursuant to Burke's Act. 12. In 1794 the new Secretary for War became also nominally Secretary for the Colonies, but the Departments were not actually united until 1801, by which time the Committee for Trade and Plantations had ceased to act. 13. The following is a list of Secretaries of State from 1801 to 1854, when the Departments of War and the Colonies were separated : 1801-Lord Hobart. 1804-Lord Camden. 1805-Lord Castlereagh. 1806-W.
