The map, one of the finest ever executed in English America in the seventeenth century, is entitled Virginia and Maryland, As it is Planted and Inhabited this present Year 1670 Surveyed and Exactly Drawne by the Only Labour and Endeavour of Augustin Herrman Bohemiensis. It was engraved by Faithorne. Only one copy is now known, that in the British Museum. A facsimile was lately published by Mr.
In compliance with this rule, a number of the converts to the faith in Maryland separated from wives or husbands. This was the case with Petrus Bayard, who later returned to his wife, and with Ephraim Herrman. The Labadists came close to the Friends in their doctrine of the law of the spirit as being the only law to which they were to yield final subjection.
It was upon Bohemia Manor that the Labadists located their colony. Danckaerts and Sluyter, under the guidance of Ephraim Herrman, made their way to Delaware and Maryland. Upon meeting them the elder Herrman was at first so favorably impressed that he consented to deed to them a considerable tract, in pursuance of his ambition to colonize and develop his estates.
"Victory or Death!" began Then, first, the Roman chief; and Herrman spake Not, but home struck: the eagles fluttered brake. So sped the SECOND day. And the third came. . . . The cry was "Flight or Death!" Flight left they not for them who'd make them slaves Men who stab children! flight for THEM! . . . no! graves! 'Twas their LAST day.

Everybody recognized you at the ball. I know you by your hat. You sha'n't escape me." Philip lifted up his mask, and showed the Duke his face. "Now, then, am I a prince?"

He was by no means sorry at the prospect of giving back his silk mantle and plumed bonnet to his substitute, for he began to find high life not quite to his taste. As he was going to the door, the Negro once more came up to him, and whispered: "Your Highness, Duke Herrman is seeking for you everywhere." Philip shook his head impatiently and hurried out, followed by the Negro.
When New Netherland, in 1664, fell a prey to the English, the colony had among its citizens numerous Germans, most of them Lutherans. A native of Hamburg, Nicholaus de Meyer, became burgomaster of New York in 1676. Another German, Augustin Herrman, made the first reliable maps of Maryland and Virginia.
"Which of us two is a fool?" "Another thing, your Highness. Signora Rollina is a bad woman. I have heard of some love affairs of hers. You are deceived I therefore thought her not worthy of your attentions, and put off the meeting to-night at her house." "Signora Rollina! How did you come to hear of her?" "Another thing. Duke Herrman is terribly enraged about that business in the cellar.
He pushed through the party, and examined the Prince from head to foot. "I thought," he said, "I knew the bird by his feathers. Mask, who are you?" Julian was taken by surprise, for in the inquirer he recognized Duke Herrman. "Answer me," roared Herrman in a voice of thunder.
He was the chief man of the place, had been deputy fiscael of New Netherland in the time of Governor Stuyvesant, and held many provincial and local offices. In 1659 he and Augustine Herrman went to Maryland on an embassy for Stuyvesant; see its journal in Narratives of Early Maryland, in this series, pp. 309-333.
