Prominent Thcsc uamcs indicate that in the early life of New 



York the French played a more prominent part than in 

 any other centre, not excepting Boston. Socially they 

 were a most effective factor, tempering the tone of society, 

 and in large measure creating it. That so many of the 

 streets of the city, as Desbrosses, Lispenard, etc., were 

 named after the French citizens, shows that they were 

 men of note in the business and public life of the time.
