Colden took great interest in internal improvements and navigation, as is evidenced in his splendid 1825 memoir on the completion of New York canals. He actively supported Fulton's patent rights and the steamboat monopoly. DAB describes this biography as "an uncritical but detailed survey of the inventor's career, which minimizes the contributions of earlier pioneers in the field of steam navigation."

[and] always understood. that said Edward was entitled to the services of the said boy until he should arrive at the age of twenty-eight." The document further states that Charles Malcolm's mother Else was owned by General Malcolm of Long Island. Ferris further gives a description of Charles Malcolm: ".rather small of his age, slender built, of a dark yellow complexion, wooly hair, with a scar on his face occasioned. by the kick of a horse. That said boy had an effeminate voice and was illiterate and altho' cunning and shrewd could with difficulty count [only] a small number." The document goes on to enumerate the whereabouts of others with whom Charles might still be in touch, including vaguely suggesting his acquaintance with some local white female servants. Docketed at the bottom by New York City Mayor Cadwallader D. Colden and dated in 1820.…
