Description
Excerpt from Baptismal Register of the Bergen Reformed Church, 1666 to 1788: Advance Pages Taken From the Year Book of the Holland Society of New York for 1913
This work is published in the most likely form which it would have assumed if printed at the time the original entries were made by Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevier, who were the most famous printers of that time. The Elzeviers or Elseviers were a family of famous printers and booksellers of Leyden and after ward Amsterdam, no fewer than fifteen of whom carried on the business in succession from 1580 to 1712. Their Pliny Virgil (1636) and Cicero (1642) are the masterpieces of their press, and in elegance of design, neatness, clearness and regularity Of type, and beauty of paper cannot be surpassed. As far as practicable their typography and all of the peculiar characteristics of their works have been care fully followed. The use of catch-words, s1gnature letter ing and half measure foot notes have been imitated exactly. The paper used in this. Book has been made to imitate the old paper of that day and the button of the Society is reproduced as a watermark. All of the illustrations have been made and engraved after the style of wood cuts then so popular. These cuts were engraved from photographs and descriptions and are historically correct as to detail and ensemble.
The index was carefully prepared by William B. Van Alstyne, ni.d., a member of our society who makes a specialty in statistical and genealogical work..
