Excerpt from A Plain Statement, Addressed to the Proprietors of Real Estate, in the City and County of New-York A plan for this city, it is well known, has been made by commissioners appointed for that pur pose by the Legislature of this State, and is exhi bited on the map commonly called the commis sioners' map. Supposing this plan to be perfect, as respects the courses, widths and distances of the avenues and streets, still it' cannot safely be acted upon until the future alterations necessary to be made in the present surface of the ground be accurately ascertained. One great object in laying out the island was, to enable individuals to know where to place their buildings, without dan ger of having them removed at some future day.

Clement Clarke Moore

Clement Clarke Moore was a scholar of ancient languages, but is remembered to this day for his memorable poem 'The Night Before Christmas', which started appeared anonymously in newspapers in the 1820s.

His character of St Nicholas strongly influenced the character of Santa Claus that we know today, and reading aloud the poem remains a favourite Christmas tradition.
