It embraces the Records of the government whilst the Colony was in the possession Of the Dutch. This country having been resorted to for some years after its discovery, by private traders and companies Of Holland, they established posts on the Island Of Manhattan, at the Esopus, in the vicinity of the present city of Albany, and on the Delaware. Navigators in their service discovered the Connecticut river, explored the shores of the Sound, of the Atlantic and Of the Delaware, and Dutch traders visited these coasts, bartering their commodities with the natives for beaver and other furs. The country thus discovered and explored, extended from Chesapeake bay to Cape Cod, and was called new netherland. Merchants in Holland possessing enterprise and capital were soon made familiar with the richness of this territory, the pleasantness of its waters and the fertility of its soil.
