Text Appearing Before Image:
ght to ten guildersin 1654 ($3.50 to $4), this was a rather good sum,$120; and the casket must have been a very hand-some article to command such a price. In 1681, the Royal African Company of Englandcomplained of Robert Allison for infringement of theircharter by importing negroes, elephants teeth, etc., intoNew York from Africa. Again, in 1702, Henry Jour-daine, mariner, owned sixty-one elephants teeth markedH.J. Mahogany was undoubtedly known and used hereas a cabinet wood towards the end of the century.A handsome table of this wood was brought fromHolland in 1668 by Olaf Stevenson Van Cortlandt(see facing this page). The great hasten were usuallymade of oak, French nutwood, or other kinds ofwalnut. In 1687, Mary Mathews has one great wal-nut cupboard. The native walnut was greatly praised by all earlywriters, as we have seen, but it was probably not sogood for cabinet purposes as the Dutch. Be that as itmay, we find that in 1658 a duty was imposed on wal-nut imported from Holland.

A great many of these doubtless were obtained fromthe Madagascar pirates. Governor Fletcher himselfdid not disdain to accept presents from the daringsea-rovers. The pirate, Giles Shelly, had, naturallyenough, a fine collection of Eastern treasures; andwe may particularly note Dr. De Lange and Mrs. VanVarick. The latters house was full of such things.She had thirteen ebony chairs, one East India cabinetwith ebony feet, two East India cabinets with brasshandles, one small black cabinet with silver hinges,ten India looking-glasses, two East India cane bas-kets with covers, one line East India dressing-basket,one East India square gilt basket, one round EastInd
