Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Views of Early New York: With Illustrative Sketches
At a meeting of the Colonial Order, held about two years ago, action was taken to appoint a committee under whose care articles should be prepared, descriptive of the city at the periods represented by these views, to be issued with the prints in a volume which should be a permanent witness to one of the Objects for which the C010 nial Order was founded. After the usual delay, that in such matters seems inevitable, the articles have been finished, and the present volume is the result.
It is hoped that the careful researches made by the writers will throw new light on the social and political conditions of the city in its early stages of development, and that those interested in early New York will be glad to welcome a new volume on their favorite topic. It only re mains to thank the gentlemen who have so care fully undertaken the by no means easy task of preparing these articles, and to bespeak for them the kindly indulgence of the courteous reader.
