Description
Excerpt from Annals of Pennsylvania: From the Discovery of the Delaware
From these, and all other promising sources, the author has endeavoured, with much labour, time, and expense, to obtain the most authentic infor mation of this early period, in which but little assistance could be derived from books or individuals. Only they who have nbeen in the practice of examining ancient records, can appreciate the difficulty frequently attend ing it, in deciphering the names of persons and places, &c. This is men tioned to account, in part, for the variety used in printing names, it being often impossible to ascertain the correct mode of spelling, as well as the person or place intended. In general, the mode adopted by the writers has been employed. Many places cannot, at the present time, be identified by the name.
