Murphy's translation of the work by Nicolas Cornelis Lambrechtsen Korte beschrijving van de ontdekking en der verdere lotgevallen van Nieuw-Nederland : weleer eene volkplanting van het gemeenebest der Vereenigde Nederlanden in America ( Middelburg : bij S. Van Benthem ., 1818). According to the note at the end of the manuscript, Murphy finished "this translation November 29, 1840. It has been made without any knowledge whatever of the language and the Dictionary alone being my Assistant. My first attempt upon the Dutch language & necessarily imperfect."
