JOURNAL OF NEW NETHERLAND.

Brief Description of New Netherland.

New Nerueranp (so called because it was first frequented 'and peopled by free Netherlanders) is a province in the most northern part of America lying between N. England (which bounds them on the N, E. side) and Virginia lying to the S. W. The Ocean is confined along its whole length by a clean sandy coast, very similar to that of Flanders or Holland, having except the rivers few bays or Harbors for ships, the air is very temperate, inclining to dryness, healthy, little subject to sickness.
