Holy Bible in Dutch; Dordrecht, Hendrick en Jacob Keur, 1686.

This Bible was originally owned by Col. Jacob Glen, the grandson of Alexander Lenders
Glen, who founded Schenectady.  It contains the records, written by Col. Glen, of his
ancestors as far back as 1648, including an account of the sack of Schenectady by the
French and Indians in 1690 and the sparing of the Glen house by order of the Governor.  It
contains records from that date to present and is now the property of a direct descendant,
Mrs. W. W. Galbraith, of Washington, D. C. Part of the records are in Dutch and have been
translated by Dr. L. Bendikson.
