Excerpt from Dominie Freylinghausen I'r seems right to say that this story is in some degree the record of actual circumstances, and that the Dominic is a real character, not a fictitious one. A good many particulars about him, and about the doings at Albany after the arrival of the English regiment, may be found in an interesting old book, now perhaps seldom read, Memoirs of an American Lady, by Mrs. Grant, of Laggan. The American lady is the Aunt Schuyler of these pages, and in describing both her and the Dominic, Mrs. Grant's account of them has been borne in mind and the attempt has been simply to portray them as they were, neither exaggerating the large-heartedness of the one nor the narrow-minded but disinterested zeal of the other. The originality of the Dominic's character, and the fresh, primitive state of society existing among the Dutch settlers at Albany, have had a fascination for the author, and however im perfectly they are represented here it is hoped they may not be altogether without charm for the reader.
