Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1873-01-02


Vincent's History of Deia,gare.--Ths lie
islature should al least take two hundred co
les OF Viucent's History Of Delaware, and pr
sent one TO each school district. 1t isa work
great labor aud research and has proved a 10
ing enterprise to the author, who did not pul
lish 1t Tor profit, but merely for State PRIDE
Many errors Of old historians have been CORE
ted and made right. To cite few cases f
example: Fort Cashmere, the old historian
alleged was peaceably sufren 1ered. Mr..
proves on the contrary that II was the town
New Amstel that surrendered, but that th
Fort was captured'b by storm, and twelve Of tn
garrison were wounded and three killed.
Old historians place the colony Of the city O
Amsterdam as being above The Christians
and that of the company below. He proves
was exactly the contrary, that the colony Of til
West India Company was North of that river
and the colony OF the city below II. Again h
nxes conclusively Fort Cashmere was north O
The town Of New Castle, and not south of 4
as alleged.
These are only afew Of the many things b.
mas set right all through the book. Nearly ever,
sentence IN 1t u new, and gives new matter II
relation TO our State never published before.
