Excerpt from The Thirteen Colonies, Vol. 2 of 2 Island. Four years later, three scouts from Fort vol. II. - I. Nassau on the Noorde or North River, following streams and Indian trails in search of peltries, came upon what they called the Zuyde or South River, the English name was Delaware, -and descended it with delight until they were captured by some In dians and held for ransom. Then a runner, prob ably taking the trail from what is now Gloucester, crossed the peninsula and carried the news to the Dutch at the mouth of the North River. Captain Cornelius Hendricksen went around by sea after them, exploring both bay and river and finding the region abounding in game, the banks covered with grape-vines, and the natives gentle and possessing fortunes in seal and other Skins, for which Hendrick sen opened a lively trade.

Excerpt from The Thirteen Colonies, Vol. 1 of 2: Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York This work has been prepared with the purpose of telling The Story of the Thirteen Colonies in a manner to meet the requirements rather of the general reader than of the special student. It is believed, however, that the narrative, while readable, as so dramatic a story ought certainly to be, can safely be accepted as trustworthy history. So far as I can learn, after an examination of a long series of admirable works in this department of American history, this is the first single work in which is presented separately the record of each of the thirteen colonies from its first settlement to the Declaration of Independence. The attempt has been made not only to depict each plantation upon its own geographical background, but as a distinct entity, to show the decisive events of its object and growth.

Excerpt from The Old Northwest, Vol. 2: With a View of the Thirteen Colonies as Constituted by the Royal Charters Within a month of the time that Maryland brought for ward her pioneer thought, the Congress had perfected the Articles of Confederation; and November I7, 1777, they were sent out to the States, with a circular letter recommend ing that they empower their delegates in Congress to ratify them in their name and behalf. Some of the legislatures promptly gave their delegates such instructions, and some hesitated. A number of amend ments to the Articles were proposed, and of these several re lated to the land-question.' One of those that came from Maryland was a virtual renewal of the proposition of the year before, but in a somewhat less emphatic form. Rhode Island.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the American Library of the Late Mr. George Brinley, of Hartford, Conn, Vol. 2 When the First Part of this Catalogue was issued, a year ago, the compiler believed that the whole library could be conveniently disposed of in three sales, not exceeding a week each. The number Of volumes and titles is found to be greater than was supposed, and it has seemed best to divide the catalogue into four parts. The Second Part, now presented, comprises 1714 lots, and more than 3000 titles. These include the books and pamphlets relating to the Middle States; the Southern States, from Maryland to Georgia the youngest of the Thirteen Colonies; the American Revolution; Washingtoniana and such other Special collections as naturally come within the range indicated. The collection relating to the Middle Colonies - wand especially, the series of books printed in Philadelphia and New York before 1750 - will be found not less remarkable than that of early New England imprints in the First Part of the Catalogue. It is needless to point out, in a prefatory note, the rarities which readers will not be long in discovering for themselves; but, chiefly for convenience of reference, a list Of some of the most important works is appended, and to a few of these the compiler may be allowed to direct special attention.
