The strange creatures, as birds, beasts, fishes, and fowls, with the several sorts of minerals, purging waters, and stones, lately discovered. The natives, aborogmes, their language, religion, laws, and customs; the first planters, the Dutch, Sweeds, and English, with the number of ist inhabitants; as also a touch upon George Keith's new religion, in his second change since he left the Quakers" (Titel).
