I. That no evidence of the Verrazzano discovery ever existed in
France, is not only necessarily presumed from the circumstance that
none has ever been produced, but is inferentially established by
the fact that all the French writers and historians, who have had
occasion to consider the subject, have derived their information in
regard to it from the Italian so-called copies of the letter, and
until recently from that in Ramusio alone.

Four centuries ago, English explorer Henry Hudson (1570-1611),
commanding the yacht Halve Maen for the Dutch East India Company,
sailed into a New World tidal estuary near the landmass the local
Lenape Indians called the "island of many hills." The island was
Manhattan, and though Hudson was unlikely the first European to see
the river, it has been forever after that known by his
name.American politician and historian HENRY CRUSE MURPHY
(1810-1882) was serving as United States Minister at The Hague when
he privately published this 1859 monograph. A significant early
treatise on Hudson's voyages, it collects all the original
documents known to exist about Hudson's third voyage-the one in
which he sailed up what is now called the Hudson River-and explores
the "motives, purposes, and character" of the Dutch East India
Company and "the designs of the navigator himself at the time he
sailed upon that expedition," the author says in his preface.Hard
to find in print, this replica volume is an important new edition
of an essential work of documentation of one of the most
inadvertently profound incidents of global history: the beginnings
of the city that is arguably the capital of the world today.
