Journal of a Voyage to New York in 1679-80. (Same as above.) (4 copies,) royal 8vo. large and thick paper, beautifully printed, half. mor. top edge gilt, Roxburgh style. DANKERS and SLUYTER, the narrative of whose voyage to New York in 1679-80 occupies this volume, were sent to America by the Society of Labadists with the view of selecting a suitable place for the establishment of a colony of that religious community. This sect originated ten years before in the islands of Zealand. As the Society did not increase as much as its leaders expected, they deter. mined to remove in a body to America, and thereby extend the boundaries of their church. They first went to Surinam, but the attempt to colonize here proved a failure, and was soon abandoned. They now thought that New Nether. land, although surrendered to the English, presented better prospects for them, and Dankers and Sluyter, who were prominent members of the community, came to New York on a tour of observation. After visiting the settlements in the colonies of New York and New Jersey, and along the Delaware, they selected a spot at the head of Chesapeake Bay, lying in the present States of Delaware and Maryland, for which they obtained a patent. The work before us gives an account of their tour in the several Colonies while seeking a permanent locality for the society they represented. Mr. Murphy procured the original manuscript from Mr. Frederick Muller, of Amsterdam, and translated it for the Long Island Historical Society, which Society published it in their collection. A few copies were printed with a separate title for Mr. Murphy's use, but were never offered for sale. A very small number were printed on large paper. The copies now offered are all that remain of the edition. 716 DARBY, WILLIAM.

An enterprise of great promise, called "The Company of Scotland trading to Africa and the Indies," was formed in Scotland in the year 1696-97, having in view the establishment of a direct intercourse between the two Indies, by a nav. igation across the Pacific Ocean. This company was formed under an act of the Parliament of Scotland, with the assent of King William III., "to erect companies for the establishment and carrying on trade with any nations or countries, or places in Asia, Africa and America, not inhabited, or at other places with the consent of the natives. The Darien Colony was only a part of the great design of the " Company of Scotland trading to Africa and the Indies." That design, says a writer in the Retrospective Rev., (Vol. II., New Series, p. 173,) had in view the general commercial improvement of Scotland, and aimed at extending trade to the north of Europe, as well as to the East and West. The company had originally more than half its shareholders in England, Holland and Germany, who withdrew in consequence of the jealousy of the older East India Companies; and in obedience to the malignant injunctions of the English Parliament, who impeached the leading Scottish adventurers for raising money in England to support the company. This treatment only the more vehemently roused the national spirit of the Scotch, and they alone provided all the funds needed for the work. Hence the Darien Colony of Caledonia assumed an exclusively Scottish character. In February, 1700, the English House of Lords presented an address to the King, in which they complained that "the Scots Colony at Darien was inconsist ent with the good of the plantation trade of England." The Parliament of Scotland showed their resentment at this address of the English Lords, by declariug that the proceedings of the Parliament of England in relation to their charter, "are an undue intermeddling in the affairs of this Kingdom, and an invasion upon the independence of our King and Parliament." But this was not all. To cap the climax of the distresses of the colony, it was blockaded by a Spanish force, and reduced to the necessity of abandoning the settlement and removing to the island of Jamaica. 718 DARIEN.
