Description   In 1785 the Library Co. acquired much of the contents of the Amer. Museum of Pierre Eugene Du Simitiere (1737-1784). This purchase was the most important in the history of the Library Co. In Nov. 1757 Du Simitiere, sailed from Amsterdam to the West Indies, never to return to Europe. For the next 16 years he traveled back & forth between the West Indies & the principal cities of N. Amer. Collecting all kinds of materials was his main occupation. In two areas, his collection constituted a real contrib. to scholarship: relations with the Indians in the settlement of the West; & popular, democratic uprisings, includ the Leisler Rebell. in N.Y. in 1688, the Zenger freedom of the press trial, the Paxton Rebellion, the Stamp Act crisis, & the Amer. Revol. Illustrations.
