There are accounts of Mr. Murphy (with portraits) in Stiles’s Brooklyn, ii. 266; New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, January, 1883; Democratic Review, xxi. 78; xl. 193. His library was particularly rich in editions of Ptolemy and other early works of geography and exploration. Cf. Duyckinck, Cyc. of Amer. Lit. Supplement, 154.—Ed.]
