Description of Van Der Dussen's work taken from the editorial column of the Christian Intelligencer for Dec. 5, 1872: "We have been shown by the Rev. G. C. Schenck a large folio volume, handsomely and strongly bound in red morocco, and with clasps, recently received by him from Holland. In it, and an appendix accompanying it, the history of the Schenck family in the country and in the Netherlands, that branch of it known as the Van Nydeck and Van Tautenberg is traced back to the year 878. The author of it is a Col. Vander Dussen, who is an officer in the Netherlands army, and alo principal editor of a genealogical periodical published at the Hague. The contents have been gathered after much research and from the most authentic sources. It is embellished with coats of arms and colored escutcheons of allied families, and also with drawings of selas used by some of the family as early as 1271. It contains a likeness of the author and also of Gen. Martin Schenck, from whose brother Peter the larger number of the name in this contry is descended. It has also pictures of three or four of the old castles in which the family resided in feudal times. Mr. Schenck proposes leaving the volume for a few weeks at the Genealogical Registry office, No. 67 university place, New York, for the inspection of those who may cherish an interest in it."
