 cially for its voluminous references to and quotations from rare 

 sources.

BARRETT, WALTER. 



The Old Merchants of New York City. New York, 1870. 



This was written by a man who had an intimate knowledge of 

 much of the life which he depicted, and contains information 

 which cannot be obtained elsewhere. It is anecdotal, uncritical, 

 and must be used with the most extreme care.
