BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

THE student who has the courage to delve in the
Documents relative to the Colonial History of the State of
New York, the Documentary History of the State of New
York, the ecclesiastical records, the pioneer journals,
and the minutes of early city councils, will not only
reach the fundamental authorities on the history of
the settlers on the Hudson, but will find many interest-
ing incidents of which the dull titles give no promise.

If the reader prefer to follow a blazed trail, he will
find a path marked out for him in reliable works such as
The History of New Netherland by E. B. O'Callaghan,
2 vols. (1855), The History of the State of New York by
J. R. Brodhead, 2 vols. (1871), The Narratives of New
Netherland, admirably edited by J. F. Jameson (1909),
New York, a condensed history by E. H. Roberts (1904),
John Fiske's Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America,
2. vols. (1899), and William Smith's History of the Late
Province of New York (first published in 1757 and still
valuable).

Many histories of New York City have been written
to satisfy the general reader. Among the larger works
are Mrs. M. J. Lamb's History of the City of New
York, % vols. (1877; revised edition, 1915, in 3 vols.),
Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer's History of the City of
