Excerpt from The Origin and Nature of the Representative and Federative Institutions of the United States of America: An Anniversary Discourse, Delivered Before the New-York Historical Society, on the 19th of April, 1832
Sweden contributed to no great extent to the colonization of America. The territory on the Delaware Bay, to which the appellation of New Swedeland was given, was always claimed by the Dutch, as falling within their limits, and it was sur rendered to the last governor of New Amsterdam, several years before he was in turn compelled to yield his whole pro vince to the superior power of England; Evidences, however, of Swedish domination may yet be found in the name of Christiana and other towns, and those few of our [fellow-a citizens, who can trace their origin to that nation, have no reason to blush for the country of their ancestors.
