DESCRIPTION
OF THE
CITY OF NEW YORK.
From Campbell's Political Survey of Great Britain.
" THE City of New York is seated in 41 d. 42 m. north lat. The road before it, though inconvenienced with ice in very hard winters, is notwithstanding always open. This, with other circumstances, renders it a place of great resort and very extensive Commerce. They export to the West Indies, bread, peas, rye, meal, Indian Corn, horses, sheep, beef, pork, and at least eighty thousand barrels of flour ; their returns are rum, sugar, and molasses. They send provisions to the Spanish Main. They have a con- siderable share in the logwood trade; wheat, flour, Indian corn, and timber, they send to Lisbon and Madeira. They have also a correspondence with Hamburg and Holland which, A. D. 1769, amounted to 246,5221. In the suc- ceeding year the ships entered inwards were 196, sloops 431 ; cleared outwards, ships 188, sloops 424."
Population of New York, in 1768, 20,000 Inhabitants. The Worshipful WHITEHEAD HICKS, Mayor.
