Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leslie's History of the Greater New York, Vol. 3: Encyclopedia of New York Biography and Genealogy The reader will here find the most comprehensive compilation of New York biography which has ever been issued from the press, while a notable characteristic of this volume is the fact that a considerable part of its contents conveys information which is not elsewhere acces sible to the public. On the other hand, it is true that some omissions occur which would not have occurred but for the lack of proper co operation. And this remark applies to the illustrations, as well as to the letter-press. In. Order to serve the purpose of useful and convenient reference, in the case of the living the aim has been succinctly to record public or professional achievements, corporation or other business connec tions, and club affiliations, together with a résume' of genealogical antecedents. The simple facts, so far as they could be ascertained, have been concisely stated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New York, Vol. 1: Old New; Its Story, Streets, and Landmarks New York's foster sons are her most devoted ones. If the writer's late gleanings in old fields awaken a wider and livelier interest in the brave but modest beginnings of the city of his adoption, and in the men and women who have helped to shape its destiny, he will feel that the reward for his labors is a generous one. The preparation of this work has necessarily involved a study of every noteworthy authority dealing with the subject, but the writer especially acknowledges the helpful suggestiveness of a recent series of articles by Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer on "New York and its Historians." No student of the city's history who would get to the root of things can afford to neglect them. He also wishes to make acknowledgment to Mr. A. H. Clark, whose unrivalled knowledge of colonial affairs is always at the command of his friends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the City of New York, Vol. 1 The earliest record of the existence of the American Continent is found among the literary legacies of the Icelanders of the tenth century, who were superior to the continental people of that age both in mental vigor and physical endurance. But their discoveries were the result of hap hazard adventure rather than scientific probabilities, and their efforts at colonization were signal failures. From their geographical works we find that they supposed these western lands to be a part of Europe; and, while the accounts of their expeditions were carefully preserved, not a line was committed to parchment until many centuries had passed, so that there is very little reason for presuming that succeeding generations were materially benefited by reason of them.
