Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch in America The following pages were presented to the Court of Appeals in the State of New York as an argument in an elevated railroad case then pending, in which the fundamental question involved was whether the Dutch Roman law prevailed in Manhattan Island before 1664, under which law the railroad claimed that the State absolutely owned the streets and that adjacent owners had no rights or easements therein. This question depended upon the determination of the historical question who, under the law of nations, discovered and settled New York. To aid the Court in the solution of this problem this argument was written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of New Netherland: The Dutch in America To understand the Dutch people, we must not inquire of aliens in speech or temper, or of belated tradition. T 0 get the truth one must see the Dutch homeland, go into the archives for the past, and let those long dead speak in their own defense.

This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America, Vol. 1 of 2 IN the general sequence of my volumes on American history, the present work comes next after The Beginnings of New England, which in turn comes next after Old Virginia and Her Neighbours. It will be observed that these books leave the history of New England at the overthrow of James II., while they carry that of the southern and middle colonies, with some diminution of de tails, into the reigns of the first two Georges. It is my purpose, in my next book, to deal with the rise and fall of New France, and the development of the English colonies as influenced by the pro longed struggle with that troublesome and danger ous neighbour. With this end in view, the history of New England must be taken up where the earlier book dropped it, and the history of New York resumed at about the same time, while by degrees we shall find the histories of Pennsylvania and the colonies to the south of it swept into the main stream of Continental history. That book will come down to the year 1765, which witnessed the ringing out of the old and the ringing in ofthe new, the one with Pontiac's War the other with the Stamp Act. I hope to have it ready in about two years from now. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America, Vol. 2 Ment in the English colonies and made it pos sible for them at length to come together in a great Federal Union. Such remote results were not within the ken Of James, Duke of York. Thoughts of commerce rather than Of empire filled his mind, and none could deny that the trade in peltries and the possession Ofa superb seaport were fit objects of princely care. A bigot and despot by natural temper, he had nothing to gain and everything to lose by ex hibiting such qualities as lord-proprietor of this Dutch domain. But for tact and modera tion this bloodless conquest could hardly have been made without continued moderation and tact it might prove hard to keep. Conciliation was the watchword, and no better person could have been found to carry out such a policy than Richard Richard N icolls, one of the most n'co'is genial and attractive figures in early American history. He was honest and sensible, frank but courteous in speech, open-hearted and liberal - minded, a man of refined tastes and an excellent scholar withal, fond of his Greek and Latin books, and speaking Dutch and French like a native. Wherever he went he won all hearts, and so it was in New Amster dam. The citizens were undisturbed in person or property, and it was soon felt that their rights were better protected than ever before. The old Dutch local government of burgo.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Holland-America Line: The Queen Wilhelmina Lectureship for Dutch Literature and History in the United States of America On the other hand there has been no lack of interest for what was going on in America; for what might be seen and heard yonder. This 1nterest oscillated in course of time, and, to a certain extent, literature reflects this oscillation. From the poetry of the new-holland colonist, Jacob Steen dam, we must conclude that the inclination of Dutchmen at home to go out to new-amsterdam did not increase. Neither his Lof van nieuw-holland (praise of new-hol land) nor his prickei-vaersen (stimulating Songs), meant to recommend van Plockhoy's colonisation scheme, seem to have had much effect. When in 1 664 the English seize upon our settlement, America, for the present, disap pears from our ken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Dutch Republic and the American Revolution (Classic Reprint) written by Friedrich Edler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch Republic and the American Revolution Another European state which had been greatly offended by the treaty of Paris in 1763 was Prussia, now at the height of its prosperity and power. Frederick the Great concluded, in 1756, the Convention of Westminster With England, and the latter was his only ally during the greater part of the Seven Years' War; but when Bute replaced Pitt in the English cabinet, British policy changed. All the provisions of the Convention were broken successively by England. The subsidies to Frederick were discontinued, and a sepa rate peace was concluded with France (that of Paris in 1763) without even guaranteeing the Prussian 'dominions as had been stipulated by the Convention.2 The consequence was that Frederick conceived a strong hatred for England in general and Bute in particular, which he later transferred to Lord North. Though the Prussian king, from political reasons, abstained from taking part openly with the Ameri cans against England, he strongly sympathized with them and assisted them indirectly in many ways. In later chapters will be shown his efforts to influence the Dutch Republic against her Old ally, Great Britain. Still a third power was anxious, if not to avenge Offences committed by England, yet to recover former losses. Spain, at the end of the Spanish succession war, had ceded to Eng land the island of Minorca and her stronghold Gibraltar.

Book Synopsis Dutch Colonial Homes in America by : Roderic H. Blackburn
Download or read book Dutch Colonial Homes in America written by Roderic H. Blackburn and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2002 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly-illustrated volume provides an unprecedented look at twenty-eight houses (plus eleven barns and other structures) built in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by Dutch colonists in the north-eastern United States, primarily in upstate New York and along the Hudson River Valley, on Long Island and Staten Island, and in New Jersey. An authoritative work-- written by eminent experts in the field-- "Dutch Colonial Homes in America" explores the homes in their broader social context by focusing on the historical and religious forces of the times. This book is the first to investigate the meaning of the home and its aesthetics for the Dutch in America, and also the first to look at these homes as a form of art and craft and, importantly, the influence this form and these people had on the shape of the American house to come. The 200 spectacular new color photographs here are beautifully styled in a manner that recalls the paintings of Vermeer and evoke what might have been the ambiance of these homes hundreds of years ago.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fall of the Dutch Republic As to most students, their stream of knowledge about Dutch history starts fresh and bright among the heroic deeds of the sixteenth century, follows a less impetuous course during the seventeenth, and runs itself to death among the dry sands of the eighteenth. They are aware of the undeniable fact that at the present moment there exists a Kingdom of the Netherlands. But what lies between the days of William III (of Macaulay fame) and the foundation of the modern kingdom, is a subject of quite as much speculation as the mediaeval history of Greece or China. It has been my intention to supply the missing link for the benefit of American readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
