Interesting History of New York City

By Emily Stehr

Interesting History of New York CityRobert Rogers; A Concise Account of North America, etc; J Potts; 1770Robert Rogers writes: "The city of New York, which is governed by a Mayor and Aldermen, is situated on an island bounded by Hudson's River on the west, the Bay and Sound on the south and east, and a small creek or channel communicating with the Sound and Hudson's River, about sixteen miles north from the city. In the city are between 2 and 000 houses, generally pretty well built; but the streets very irregular. It hath several spacious public buildings, among which the college and the court-house are the most considerable, and the Governor's mansion-house within the fort; the houses for public worship are no-ways despicable, especially the two English churches. The public worship in this city is every Sunday performed in different churches, in the English, the French, the German, and Low-Dutch languages."
