Summary: The author of this diary is unknown. The translator, Julius Sachse writes in the introduction, "This pamphlet, as the title page sets forth, is an extract from several missives from Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, wherein is described the entire voyage from Rotterdam to Pennsylvania, carefully noted, together with the climate of this country, the actions of the inhabitants, and a setting forth of their industries, conditions, etc., also the names of such tame and wild animals, birds, fish, field and garden fruits, etc. of that place; at the same time many remarkable circumstances, heretofore unknown to us are truly described....Not the least interesting part of this missive is the note about the devout hermit. This hermit was none other than Conrad Mathai, and the notice here given, short though it is, throws further light upon this strange character, who lived for so many years on the banks of the romantic Wissahickon..."
