Jameson, J: Willem Usselinx -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Willem Usselinx: Founder of the Dutch and Swedish West India Companies

As to books, contemporary or more recent, I have not knowingly neglected any, in any of the libraries hereafter mentioned, which might give me information concerning Usselinx or those portions of the history of his times which I needed to know. In the case of certain books not obtain able in this country, transcripts of the desired passages have been made for me, especially by the kind care of Messrs. Frederik Muller and Company, of Amsterdam. With the ex ception of these cases, all references have been made at first hand, except that once or twice a friend has verified for me a reference to a book which I had previously examined, but needed to consult anew on some detail for I have had to examine these widely scattered books when I could. I have not thought it worth while to include a bibliography of such books. Such lists of authorities consulted are of little real utility in such a book; the references in footnotes suffice.
