Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Settlement of Burlington an Oration Delivered in That City, December 6
Such was the condition of affairs when the Opportunity of the Qiakers arose out of the meces sities of their enemies. Between the Dutch New Netherlands and the English colony of Virginia lay a noble river draining a fertile and pleasant land. Hudson had discovered it in 1609, and the following year the dying Lord De la Warr had bequeathed to it his name. For thirty years the three Protestant nations of Europe had contended for its shores, each victorious in its turn, until, at length, the dominion of the Dutchman and the Swede came to an end forever, and the ?ag of England ?oated in triumph over their few and feeble settlements.
