or Duddington pasture. The town laid out in the latter part of 
1770, near the deepest water of the Eastern branch, was doubtless 
named after Daniel Carroll, an extensive land owner on Capitol 
hill. The subdivision was made under a deed of trust recorded 
at Marlborough, Maryland, November 2, 1770. 
Hamburgh is or was the name of a town surveyed and laid 
off in town lots by its owner, Jacob Funk, whose plat is recorded 
at Marlborough, Maryland, October 28, 1771. The tract em- 
braced 120 acres and was divided into 287 lots. The town was 
located with reference to deep water in the Potomac, and occu- 
pied in part the site of the old Naval Observatory. It was some- 
times called Funkstown, after its owner. 
The L’ Enfant and Ellicott Maps.—Preceding and during the 
surveys already described, a French engineer, Major Peter 
Charles L’Enfant, was engaged under Washington’s direction in 
planning the future capital. The map which he prepared may 
be called a paper map—that is, it was a project in which the 
city was laid out on paper. This, the first map of Washington, 
is now in the custody of the commissioner of public buildings 
and grounds, in the War Department. Having become much 
faded and worn with use, it was a few years since sent to the. 
Coast Survey office, where it was very carefully traced and a 
photolithographic copy of it prepared. 
After the approval of L’Enfant’s plan, the next step was to lay 
out the streets, parks, reservations, etc, upon the ground. This 
work was entrusted to Major Andrew Ellicott, and his map 
appears to have been first engraved in 1792. The manner in 
which the city was laid out is told in a note upon the map itself, 
‘which is as follows: 
In order to execute this plan, Mr Ellicott drew a true meridional line 
by celestial observation, which passes through the area intended for the 
Capitol; this line he crossed by another due east and west, which passes 
thfough the same area. These lines were accurately measured and made 
the base on which the whole plan was executed. He ran all the lines by 
a transit instrument and determined the acute angles by actual measure- 
ment, and left nothing to the uncertainty of the compass. 
Near the intersection of North Capitol and R streets is, or till 
recently was, a monument, which I have not seen, said to be 
some fifteen feet high, on land owned by a Mr Beall. I have 
been unable to secure definite information as to the purpose of 
this monument orits use. Itseems probable that it was a mon-
