This volume does not attempt to give any 

 connected history of the city, but to present 

 authentic accounts of localities of special inter- 

 est, and to describe the features peculiar to the 

 life of the olden time in New Amsterdam and 

 early New York. It offers, in convenient form 

 for ready reference, carefully gleaned informa- 

 tion, enlivened by hints of legend and tradition 

 which have cast their glamor over Manhattan 

 Island ; and it has been the aim of the editors 

 to make the volume of value to the general 

 reader as well as to the students of history. 

 The editors have studied not only the standard 

 authorities, but have consulted the Dutch 

 Archives and have made researches in the 

 records of the Historical Societies of the vari- 

 ous cities of the State, and have spared no 

 labor in their efforts to make their accounts 

 thoroughly trustworthy.
