In 1718 he settled in the city of New York, where his mathematical knowledge procured him the appointment of surveyor general of the colony from Governor Hunter, the friend and correspondent of Swift, from whom he soon after received the additional appointment of master in chancery. The state of society in this country, which did not yet allow of the regular subdivision either of labor or of professional study,' ren dered this last appointment less remarkable than it might otherwise appear to a reader of the presentday. Dr. Colden's general knowledge and habits of business soon qual ified him for the able discharge of this office.
