I907. NO. I ' THE VAN RENSSELAER FAMILY. BY W. W. SPOONER. the early Dutch colonial families the Van OF Rensselaers were the first to acquire a great landed estate in America under the "patroon" system; they were among the first, after the English conquest of New Netherland, to have their possessions erected into a "manor," antedating the Livingstons and Van Cortlandts in this particular; and they were the last to relinquish their ancient prescriptive rights and to part with their hereditary demesnes under the altered social and political conditions of modem times. So far as an aristocracy, in the strict understanding of the term, may be said to have existed under American institu- tions—and it is an undoubted historical fact that a quite formal aristocratic society obtained throughout the colonial period and for some time subsequently, especially in New York, — the Van Rensselaers represented alike its highest attained privileges, its most elevated organization, and its most dignified expression. They were, in the first place, nobles in the old country, which cannot be said of any of the other manorial families of New York, although several of these claimed gentle descent.

Later authorities claim him to have been undoubtedly of Saxon origin and cite the rivers Leven in Cumber­ land and in Yorkshire with manorial estates of Levington, and that these manors drew this name from being situated on these rivers, and were owned by Saxons circa 851.

Hudson discovered the river known by his name in 1609. During the next ten years many Dutch ships were in New York waters, and Manhattan Island had a small settlement of traders. Magisterial authority, if there was any in this little trading community, probably followed the rules of the sea, with sea captains as arbiters, and with the certainty that capital offenses would be referred to the home government. In 1621 the Dutch West India Company was chartered, with wide powers and charged with the keeping of "good order, police, and justice." The charter contained many guarantees of freedom in social, political and religious life, but reserved final judicial authority for the States General. Next in magisterial authority were the directors of the company, who exercised supervision of, and accepted responsibility for, the judicial acts of their provincial officials, the superintendents of the trading posts and the ship captains.

    An examination of the life of Catherine Schuyler is an approach to a better understanding of the history of the eighteenth century in America. This study is a step toward a needed- modern biography of Catherine Schuyler. Her story is a means to explain the role of women in colonial New York by examining the role of one woman in it. A nineteenth century biography of Catherine Schuyler does not meet modern standards of scholarship in footnoting and bibliography. It was written as a popular history and consequently has all the earmarks of a vivid imagination. No specific documentation is given and, although there are numerous statements that reveal the author's familiarity with primary source material, there are also several errors and a reliance on romantic legends and family traditions. To this writer's great consternation, the modern biographer of Philip Schuyler, Don R. Gerlach, in his peripheral treatment of Catherine, relies on the same historians for her story whom he castigated for failure to examine all the evidence with regard to Philip's biography.'*' Modern scholarship cannot be selective in the use of primary sources if we are to get a balanced view of our own history. WniAr A,) Catherine Schuyler was born into one of the most influential Hi«! landholding families in colonial New York. Born on November 4, 1.734, Catherine was the daughter of John Van Rensselaer, proprietor of the Lower Manor of Rensse1aerswyck, and of the former Angelica Livingston, daughter of Robert Livingston, Jr. Her paternal grandfather, Hendrick, was the younger brother of Killian Van Rensselaer, the fourth Patroon.

MISS ANNE STEVENSON VAN CORTLANDT, E INSPIRATION AND INTEREST IT WAS S VOLUME IS DEDICATED FOREWORD ""W~JT TOOL gathering " is a common failing amongst most %/^7 people with reference to historical matters. Even • • comparatively recent history grows vague and hazy to them in its outlines amazingly soon, and they are apt to lose the thread of connexion between places and events. The sequence of events, too, becomes confused. Hence many a person falls unwittingly into the most absurd anachronisms. Those blessed with an active invention, and a decent degree of interest or pride in the past, ofttimes positively Mow a vast deal " about things that are not so." Houses and public edifices supply one of the best correc­ tives for this nebulous mental condition. They are visible symbols and reminders of past life. They are specific tangible evidences. They are pegs on which to hang the links of memory, links that bind together the series of events and connect episodes with definite spots.
