Church - “...A most valuable work on the early history of the colony. The author made much use of sources of information which are no longer available, and quotes some interesting letters by the early settlers. Although it contains occasional errors, it has always deservedly been considered a standard work, and is still the main source of information regarding the history of West Jersey. It contains much matter illustrative of the relations which existed between New York and New Jersey.” [Church 1053. Pilling 3667 - noting brief discussion of native American vocabulary. Sabin-83980. Evans 10166. Howes S-661.] Price: USD 1,200.00 other currencies   order no. 141174    inquire
