INFORMATION RELATIVE TO TAKING UP LAND IN NEW NETHERLAND, IN THE FORM OF COLONIES OR PRIVATE BOWERIES. 1650.

[Hol. Doc. V.J

If any man be disposed to begin either by himself or others, Colonies, Bouweries or Plantations in New Netherland, lying in the Latitude of one and forty degrees anda half, he shall first have to inform himself fully of the situation of the lands lying on rivers, havens and Bays, in order thus to select the most suitable and particularly the most convenient grounds: It is therefore to be borne in mind that the lands in New Netherland are not all level & flat and adapted to raising of grain, inasmuch as they are, with the exception of some few flatts, generally covered with timber, in divers places also with large & small stones.
