Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of New York We need, as a people, to know more of ourselves. The story of American progress is builded upon matters of even greater importance than its records of wars, of politics, and of men of renown. Between the lines of every history should be read the unwritten but not less notable story of the people. The family and descendants of Tennis Jansen, the honest burgher of the Winckel Street, may have had no existence in fact, but they can stand as types of those living, laboring folk, the people, whose daily duties, activities, cares and needs, are a part at once of the story and the success of the great State of New York.

Download or read book Legal and Judicial History of New York Classic Reprint written by Alden Chester and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal and Judicial History of New York In 1842 it was resolved to curtail the power of the legislature to incur debt. This decision and the reaction against the tendency to involve the government in private business led to the convention of 1846. The work of that convention and the constitution reported by it, the third constitution of the State, have been discussed in this book. Whatever may be the common impression, the most important part of the labor of that convention dealt with the subject of public debts. The next succeeding constitutional convention was that of 1867, all of whose work except the judiciary article was rejected at the polls. Then followed the constitutional commission of 1872, which took up a large part of the unaccepted effort of the convention of 1867, revised it, and presented it to the State legislatures in such form that much of it was eventually incorporated in the constitution. To the able and thoughtful men in the convention of 1867 it must have seemed lamentable that their labors were not appreciated. The valuable ideas which the convention formulated first passed through the crucible of public discussion and afterwards were debated in the commission of 1872. The good work of the convention was not lost; on the contrary it was improved, and fortunately for the people, some notions much in vogue at the time were never submitted by the legislature for popular vote, and were happily kept out of the organic law. The lesson which that period should teach is that proposed constitutional changes need thorough consideration before their submission to the people. In 1890 a constitutional commission was summoned into being to revise the judiciary article. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Memorial History of the City of New York Manna-hata, the handsomest and most pleasant country that man can behold. Henry Hudson. The Island of New-York is the most beautiful island that I have ever seen. Hessian Officer, in "Stone's Revolutionary Letters," 1891. She is a Mart of Nations. The crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth. Isaiah, xxiii. History maketh a young man to be old, without either wrinkles or gray hairs, privileging him with the experience of age without either the infirmities or inconveniences thereof. Thomas Fuller. This is a great fault in a chronicler, to turn parasite: an absolute history should be in fear of none; neither should he write anything more than truth, for friendship, or else for hate, but keep himself equal and constant in all his discourses. Simon N. H. Linguet. Industrious persons, by an exact and scrupulous diligence and observation, out of the monuments, names, words, proverbs, traditions, private recordes and evidences, fragments of stories, passages of bookes that concern not story, and the like, we doe save and recover somewhat from the deluge of Time. Francis Bacon. They who make researches into Antiquity may be said to passe often through many dark lobbies and dusky places before they come to the Aula lucis, the great hall of light; they must repair to old Archives and peruse many molded and inoth-eaten records, and so bring to light, as it were, out of darkness, to inform the present world what the former did, and make us see truth through our Ancestor's eyes. James Howell. I was surprised to find how few, if any, of my fellow-citizens were aware that New-York had ever been called New Amsterdam, or had heard of the names of its early Dutch governors, or cared a straw about their ancient Dutch progenitors. A history to serve as a foundation, on which other historians may hereafter raise a noble superstructure, swelling in process of time, until Knickerbocker's New-York may be equally voluminous with Gibbou's Rome, or Hume and Smollett's England.

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.

This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Need of a History of New York Hrice during the early history of our State the fate of the nation has hung in the balance within its border. First in the contention between Holland and England so interestingly told in The American Colonies in the 17th Century, by Professor Herbert L. Osgood; then throughout the French and English Wars, 1745 - 1759, for the Niagara frontier and control of the Hudson River and Lake Champlain. Had France been successful we should have been a French colony and our Revolution a matter of doubtful conjecture. In 1777 the struggle for the Hudson was the critical moment of our independence. Indeed, the Hudson River was the keystone of the arch that held New England to the Southern States. In our city, the Sons of Liberty and later the Committee of Correspondence moulded the events that brought about the first Continental Congress of the Colonies at Philadelphia in 1774. New York holds also the honor of being the only colony who lived up to their non-importation agreement of October 31, 1765.
