This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of New York, Its History and Administration To understand the political system under which we live, we must study not only the Federal govern ment of the United States, but the government of our own State. In 'many respects the State govern ment comes into closer and more vital relations to us than does the national government. The most important interests of our daily life - our personal liberty and security, the peace of our homes, our property, our health, our education - are all largely under the protection or supervision of the State. So too, our most ordinary political duties have to do either with the affairs of the State itself, or with va rious matters connected with the subdivisions of the State - the affairs of the county, the town, the vil lage, or the city. These are matters which concern every citizen. To know how they are managed, and how they ought to be managed, is necessary to every one who expects to have a share in the rights and duties of citizenship.

Drill room and armory in the State became a scene of great activity, and by April 19, four days after the call, the Seventh New York, each man carrying forty-eight rounds of ball cartridge, received an enthusiastic ovation as it marched down Broadway on its way to Washington. There after, each day presented, somewhere in the State, a similar pageant. Men offered their services so much faster than the Government could take them that bitterness followed the fierce competition.14 By July 1 New York had despatched to the seat of war men - an aggregate that was swelled by December 30 to Loans to the govern ment, offered with an equally lavish hand, approximated in three months.

Download or read book Municipal Government of the City of New York Classic Reprint written by Abby Gunn Baker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Government of the City of New York Primarily 1117111117720! Government of 1716 City ocw York was written for the purpose of enabling the pupils of the schools to know their own city. The introductory chapters give in story form the purchase of Manhattan Island and its growth under the Dutch and English governments. They also give the history of the city immediately following the Revolution. The chapters take up each administrative depart ment of the city government from its very beginning and tell, in detail, of its development and the manner in which it is managed at the present time. In order to bring the book up to date each department of the municipal government was most carefully studied under the immediate and helpful supervision of the Commissioner or some one delegated by him. After each chapter was written it was read critically by an official of the department treated. For this reason it can be stated without hesitation that the book is accurately brought up to date. As can readily be seen the authors are under the greatest obligation to the heads of the administrative departments and others connected with the municipal government, who gave such generous help and kindly advice while the book was being revised.

Download or read book The Political History of the Province of New York Classic Reprint written by Herbert Livingston Satterlee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political History of the Province of New York This outline of the Political History of the Province of New York was originally presented to the Faculty of the School of Political Science, Columbia College. It was written in part fulfillment of the conditions necessary for the attain ment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and having been favorably received, I am led to issue a few copies of it for two reasons. First: because I have found no connected and condensed statement of the events of constitutional importance during that period. In the smaller histories of the State these facts are generally ignored, and in the more voluminous works and collections of historical documents they are so scattered and wanting in sequence, that much time and labor are necessary to establish their relation and significance. Again: I am convinced that the important influence of the colonial constitution on the political structure of our State has been and is undervalued from want of familiarity. If this is true, then every effort - however slight - that serves to call attention to it is an act of justice to our history that needs no apology.

Download or read book Illustrated History of the Borough of Queens New York City Classic Reprint written by George von Skal and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated History of the Borough of Queens, New York City For these reasons the history of the Borough 'of Queens-contained in the fol lowing pages does not confine itself to the past. It does indeed furnish a complete sketch of the settlement of the territory from the time when the first white man set foot upon the soil of Long Island, and it follows the efforts made to change a wilder ness into a blooming garden through the march Of the centuries, but it goes further. It shows how the borough has been developed, and in what manner, and for what reasons it is apt to grow in the future. It points out the great natural advantages the territory possesses, and the enterprises which, in the near future, will tend to bring about even greater changes than the past has produced. The history naturally deals with the men who have played important roles in the shaping of the destinies of the localities now forming the Borough of Queens in the past, and who have left their mark upon the conditions evolving slowly from insecurity almost amounting at times to chaos, until a staple and regular government was formed. But it shows, in addi tion, in the biographies of men who are at the present time interested in the welfare of the borough, and who, in public life or private enterprise, are devoting themselves to the upbuilding of the community, the forces that are at work. No better way could be found, in our opinion, to show what Queens is now, and what it is destined to be, for the work of man, even if intended for the day only, always influences the future and it is impossible to draw a line that divides sharply the work of those living from that of coming generations. Those who come after us will have to build upon what we have accomplished; they cannot entirely get away from it, and even if they choose new paths, they must reckon with those laid out by their forerunners.

Download or read book Legal and Judicial History of New York Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by Alden Chester and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal and Judicial History of New York, Vol. 3 As early as 1540 some French fur traders found their way up the river that many years afterward was "discovered" by Hudson, and erected a stone fort or castle on the island in the river, near the present southern boundary of the city of Albany. Here seventy-five years later the castle, which had fallen into decay, was rebuilt as Fort Nassau by Hendrick Corstiaensen, of Amsterdam, who bore a license from the Lords States-General of Holland to traffic in furs with the natives of New Netherland. Here Henry Hudson arrived on the "Half Moon," September 19, (oldstyle) 1609, under contract with the Dutch East India Company on his exploration of the Grande (now Hudson) River. Here the Walloons, under the authority of the Dutch West India Company, which had been incorporated by the Holland government to colonize America, erected Fort Orange in 1624, on the shore of the river, near the site of the present steamboat landing. None of these early efforts, however, resulted in a permanent settlement. It remained for Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, the first patroon, to become the founder of an enduring settlement here. He it was to whom the Dutch West India Company, under a plan approved by the Lords States-General, granted manorial rights and the permission to establish a colony. While he did not come himself, he sent a few settlers here in 1630. These were followed by others in subsequent years, but he remained at his home in Amsterdam and administered his affairs from there.
