Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Jersey Boundary: Read Before the New York Historical Society, June 6th, 1865
A litigation, conducted by the State of New Jersey, in the Courts of the United States, di rected to the water-boundary between her and the State of New York, has been to me, in my oiiicial capacity, the occasion of ex tended research among the records of the earliest colonial periods. The results of these labors, I am inclined to believe, will not be des titute of interest to the general mind, and, although produced by proofs within the know ledge of the historian, yet, so little understood are they, that I venture to communicate them to the Historical Society of the State of New York.
The efforts ofnew Jersey to neutralize the com merciai advantages of New York and to pro mote her own aggrandizement are notorious. Few, however, are cognizant of their original recklessness and the persistence of their subse quent prosecution.
