PREFACE.
This volume embraces the period in the City Re- cords in which the first English Church was built. The sturdy men composing the common council exerted all their energies to prevent it from being erected in State street; but that especial location had the countenance of the governor. It was in vain that they sent an express to New York with a canoe to consult two eminent counsellors! the building went on in spite of the arrest of the workmen, and was completed. It was also an era of speculation in real estate. The authorities began to permit lots to be sold and houses to be erected without the walls of the city. There was at the same time a mania for farms at Schaghticoke; and the common council having weighed the matter profoundly, and deter- mined to gratify the capitalists in this popular scheme to a limited extent, eight farms were drawn by lot out of the mayor's hat! Among those who were so fortunate as to secure one of the lots so cautiously doled out, was Johannes Knickerbacker, * whose posterity have ever since held an eminent position there.
* This was not the original family name.

Preface.
The Notes from the Newspapers embrace the era of the building of the Erie Canal. A newspaper critic pronounces these awfully diffuse. On consult- ing several persons whose judgment it was thought safe to confide in, all fears have been dismissed on that point. The work having now reached its seventh volume, and there being but little increasing demand for it, the critic may have formed a just conclusion, viewing it in the light of a successful speculation. But the project of its publication was not conceived as a source of profit, nor has it been continued with any such expectation. The number printed is very small, and it is pretty much determined to reduce the edition of the next volume to the actual demand.
