Was his account an effective billboard for ‘free’ land in the New York area? Were population densities high enough in England for these descriptions of spacious pastures to appeal to the English people and did immigration trends reflect this? Did settlement patterns prior to 1670 have anything to do with Denton’s glowing report? There’s no way to know the answers to these questions for certain, especially because detailed census reports were not taken in New York during Denton’s time. However, it can be inferred that Denton intended his pamphlet to be read and taken to heart by English city-dwellers who could afford the trip over and who could contribute to the growing economy of the New York region. Denton wrote and published his pamphlet in England, after which he would write nothing else of the sort, suggesting he had a specific entrepreneurial motive for this publication.
