THE BATTERY AND BOWLING GREEN. The lower end of Manhattan Island, below the Fort, was a narrow point of land terminating in a ledge of rocks, called Capskie or Little Cape. This name was afterwards corrupted into Copsie. It was in the earliest days known as Schreyers Hoek, or Shouters Point. The existence of a war between England and Spain was the cause of the erection of a battery at the end of the point, and it gave a name to the locality which still remains, although the fortification has been gone for more than a hundred years. The battery was built during the governorship of William Cosby, and was finished in July, 1735. This was the subject of a grand celebration, which ended with a most mournful accident. The full account is given in the "New York Gazette" of July 21 of that year: "The foundation and Ground Works of the new Battery on Whitehall rocks being finished on Wednesday the 16th instant, that day was appointed for the laying of the first stone of the Platform and the giving it a name. Accordingly his Excellency the Governor, attended by the Gentlemen of his Majesties Council, with the principal Gentlemen and merchants of the City performed the ceremony under the general discharge of the cannon planted for the occasion, and was pleased to call it George Augustus Royal Battery. Afterward his Excellency repaired to the booth erected on the Battery, where an elegant entertainment was prepared for him and the Company. After dinner, his Majesty's and the several Royal Health were drank, amid several discharges of the cannon, together with success to George's Battery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Homes and Institutions, Vol. 2: And Genealogical and Family History of New York The discoveries made by the Cabots was the excuse, the de sire of claiming America for future colonies was the true reason, and the existence of a war between England and Holland was the Opportunity for the English conquest Of New Ne-therlaud. The line Of argumentin favor of England was stated most clearly by Governor Cadwallader Colden in his remarks on Smith's History Of New York. The princes of Europe founded their pretentious in America on the first discovery and in taking possession. The-re is no question that the first discova ery of North America was under commission from the King of England and that the first settlement was made by the English with a public declaration by the King's Letters Patent, that he claimed by the discovery and possession from the 39th to the 45th degree of latitude. NO nation in amity with England could settle within those bounds without a breach of amity between them. The Dutch took advantage Of the internal dis orders and the civil war in England to establish themselves in the country claimed by the Crown of England, and the English certainly were in the right to reclaim this country as soon as the public tranquillity permitted them to do it.
