Excerpt from Collegium Regale Novi Eboraci: The Origin and Early History of Columbia College The New York Historical Society has published two "histories" of New York, both very valuable contributions of materials for the future historian, although their partisan character deprives them of such authority as belongs to the standards of historical literature. Widely as they differ, however, in almost every point of view, a careful study of the pages of William Smith and Thomas Jones will reveal a substantial agreement on one point - that the middle of the eighteenth century was the Golden Age of Colonial New York, the happiest period in its eventful history. Nearly a century and a half had gone by after Henry Hudson, under the flag of the Dutch East India Company, entered the harbor and passed up the great river which still proudly bears his honored name.
