摘要

A valuable source of information about the Mid-Atlantic Region during theeighteenth century is Pehr Kalms En Resa til Norra America (Stockholm,1753-1761) of which only the Dutch edition (Utrecht, 1772) was previouslyheld in the rare book collection. Added this year were the originalSwedish edition (William Allen Chapman, Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, MontaguHankin and Proprietors Funds), a German translation, 1754-1764,issued at G魌tigen (Charles H. and Mary Elizabeth Brower Fund) andEnglish editions of 1770-1771 and 1772, issued at Warrington andLondon. A naturalist and student of Linnaeus, Kalm traveled to America atthe behest of the Swedish Academy of Sciences, seeking plants, not nativeto Sweden which might be profitably introduced there. His extensivenarrative, published originally in three volumes, explores all aspects of thephysical and cultural geography of the land he visited, as suggested by thetitle of its two English editions: Travels into North America; containing itsNatural History, and A circumstantial Account of its Plantations and Agriculturein general, with the Civil, Ecclesiastical and Commercial State of the Country,The Manners of the Inhabitants, and several curious and important Remarks onvarious Subjects. During his seventeen-month stay in America (September1748-February 1751), Kalm spent much time in the Delaware River Valleyareas, including southwestern New Jersey, which had been first settled bythe Swedish, but he also traveled in western Pennsylvania, New York andCanada. Illustrations are included in all editions of Kalms travels; theEnglish and Dutch editions also include a large folding map of the Mid-Atlantic Region.
