This is the last of three volumes to document the administration of the Dutch-controlled colonies that were under the jurisdiction of New York's first governor, Sir Edmund Andros. The documents range from official correspondence, reports and notes, to court minutes.

This volume, part of the New York Historical Manuscripts series, presents the early years of the administration of New York's first governorship under Sir Edmund Andros, who, as a loyal supporter of King Charles II, was awarded succeeding governorships of most of the English North American colonies, beginning with New York.
