wholesomeness of the air, the navigable rivers, and others, the
prodigious encrease of corn, the flourishing condition of the city
of Philadelphia, with the stately buildings, and other improvements
there: the strange creatures, as birds, beasts, fishes, and fowls,
with the several sorts of minerals, purging waters, and stones,
lately discovered: the natives, aborogmes sic] their language,
religion, laws, and customs: the first planters, the Dutch, Sweeds,
and English, with the number of its inhabitants; as also a touch
upon George Keith's new religion, in his second change since he
left the Quakers: with a map of both countries.Author: Gabriel
