2. EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS TO FOREIGN CHURCHES.
In folio parchment-bound Volumes, (as follows) :
[Vols. 26-32 record the letters of Classis in regular order, but only 30, 31, 32, are marked " Copy-books," or Books for recording the letters from the Classis. See Vol. 39. E. T. C.]
a. Volume numbered 26, running from Apr. 7th 1648 to March 22nd 1655.
[Note on margin of Inventory here: To this writing there pre- cedes a not yet catalogued, very damaged Copy-book, (Recording Book), about the Missions, running until 1635. The letters sent away, until May 1648, and (one document in) 1666, are to be found with the Classical Acts in Volume 39. But therewith, some mistake has certainly been made. No. 26 ought to have followed No. 39 .- But see paragraph 9, below. E. T. C.]
[Or rather Vol. 39 ought to have preceded Vol. 26; while Vol. 37, which is an Index to Vol. 39, ought to have been bound up with it. Vol. 39 contains some Acts of the Classis, some Acts of the Deputies, mostly repetitions of what are found in Vol. iv, of Acts of Classis; and some letters of the Classis, all between 1636-1648. E. T. C.]
b. No. 27. Running from May 1st, 1666-Dec. 29th, 1700.
c. No. 28 is lost. [But it is now (1897) in the Archives, but the number of the Volume is hardly legible. E. T. C.]
d. No. 29. From Dec. 1727-Oct. 29th, 1743.
e. No. 30. From Oct. 29th, 1743-Apr. 2nd, 1753.

g. No. 32. From Jan. 11th, 1780-Oct. 24th, 1804.
[Vol. 30 is marked Part I (Letters 1-136). Vol. 31 is marked Part II (Letters 1-314.) Vol. 32 is marked Part III (Letters 1-95) and these three Vols. are called Copy-books, or books for recording the letters sent by Classis. The same is true of 39, and of all between 26 and 32. E. T. C.]
3. Extracts from letters received from abroad, beginning with the year 1759, and running to Jan. 1st, 1781, marked (Volume) 33, in a folio, parchment-bound volume.

ECCLESIASTICAL RECORDS
N. B. Although this Volume is marked 33, it belongs plainly with 31, as is also in some measure to be made out from the title.
[This note is a mistake. Vol. 33 is marked Second Part not with reference to Vol. 31, but with reference to Vol. 23, as now numbered, which is First Part of Extracts from Foreign Letters ; while Vol. 34, is Third Part of this set of Extracts. This is obvious for several reasons: 1. Although Vol. 23 is in the set of Minutes of Deputies, it is also full of Extracts from Foreign Letters. 2. These letters run to 1758, and Vol. 33 begins with letters of 1759. 3. Then also the letters in Vol. 23, are numbered from 1-282, and in Vol. 33 they run from 283-576.
These Volumes are also marked thus :
Vol. 23, marked Part I (Letters 1-282)
Vol. 33, marked Part II (Letters 283-576)
Vol. 34, marked Part III (Letters 1-53)
These Volumes were yet unnumbered, when marked by these Parts, I, II, and III. E. T. C.]
4. Extracts from Letters received from abroad from Oct. 25th 1780 until Feb. 6th 1792, in folio, parchment-bound Volume, with title, Third Part, numbered 34.
5. Copies and Extracts from Letters concerning the Pennsyl- vania Churches, written to, and answered by the Classis of Amsterdam, with Register (Index) ; running from March 1752- 1772 ; in folio, parchment-bound volume, numbered 35.
N. B. Turning this volume upside down, at the back end, will be found the Acts of the Deputies concerning the Pennsylvania Churches, from April 1753 until Dec. 18th 1772.
6. Acts concerning the Church of Banda, [an island in the Indian Ocean], subscribed by the Consistory of the congregation of Banda, Aug. 13th, 1625, and running from March 17th 1622 until Aug. 24th 1624. In large folios, brown-leather bound Volume, with copper clasps and corners, marked 38a.

8. Register (Index) of ecclesiastical matters in the East Indies, . West Indies, Guinea, Virginia or New Netherland,
[Here Virginia and New Netherland are identified. It is in this Index that Jonas Michaelius is said to be " late minister to Virginia." So in Acts of Classis, Vol. iv, when asked to go back to New Amsterdam, the margin is marked " Virginia." On cover "Virginia or New Netherland." E. T. C.]
contained in the Acta, of the Classis of Amsterdam, and of the Deputies of the same; together with the letters sent to them from the East Indies, etc., or belonging to the said churches. In folio, parchment-bound Volume, marked 37.
[This volume is only an Index to Vol. 39, below, and does not extend later than 1648. E. T. C.]
9. Formula-Book containing decrees, formulas, instructions for Foreign Churches, etc., with Register. ( ?) In folio, parchment bound Volume, marked 39.

Some names of American ministers are not found herein. There parties went from other Classis to America, as Michaelius from the Classis of Enkhuyzen; Freerman from the Classis of Lingen in Germany, etc. There are two lists of signatures gener- ally identical, but in second list after Casparus Van Zuuren, occurs the name of "Godfridus Dellius, minister of Albany, in America, 20 July, 1682," which does not occur in first list-probably through some neglect.
This one Classis of Amsterdam, between 1758-1903, licensed no less than 1900 persons to preach the Gospel, and ordained to the ministry about 1800, according to the recently published "Gedenkboek ", or Memorial Volume of the First 325 years of her history. This work is now in course of translation. See Review of it, in Christian Intelligencer, Sept. 14, 1904. E. T. C. EARLY GRADUATES OF HOLLAND UNIVERSITIES WHO CAME TO AMERICA.

*This is the one said to be the same as our Jonas Michaelius of New Amsterdam. His name sometimes occurs as Jonas Johannes Michaelius. His home is not given, but was probably at Hoorn. Joannes Michaelis, 1583, above, is possibly, and prob- ably, his father; and Joannes Michaelis, 1623, his son. The Joannes Michaelis, 1602, is the cousin of Jonas, or Joannes of 1600. See Notes, after the letter of 1628, Vol. 1, pp. 68-73, among the documents ; and also a note on document dated, July 5, 1638.
