CHARLES CLINTON, Clakofthe Distiict of ifcm-rark. PREFATORY REMARKS. ji J[^ ■ THE following- Tables and pan of tlie plan of their nvr.'uigement ^ vere orig-inally mucle foi' my own use only. The. reitsons aiul ne» ^^•cessity fVn- thciri, being' the same to an individnalas to t!ie puhlick, ^V "^vill be sufficiently understood, wlien I shall have exp!a"iied, in the ; course of tliese rcmaiks, \.\\e general use and coiivenience oFihis Manual. When I had partially exec\Ued my oiii4iii:d design, sev- eral persons wishing' for copies and sn;>-g-esting- tlic great conve- nience such a kind of pocket Reg-ister or verbal map, as it ■^vere, might be to the g-enerality of re:i(le;rs, travellers, arid men of busi- ness, I enlarged and improved the plan and imdertook to collect sufficient facts to make it full and correct. The time and p.uns rrcessary to be spent in doing- this, hu-,vever, liave been greater than was at first imagined, and the publication has consequently been some time delayed. Ihj g'rea' extent of th.is state, the number and variety of impor- tant posts and situations it contains, as well as the flourishing- com- merce, agriculture, and manufactures, whicli its rapid settlement has suddenly exhibited to the world, all tend to render its topo- grapliy not only interesting-, but very different from that of most other states, and difficult to be well understood even by its own and oldest inhabitants. The rapidity of its setl.lemeitt and im- provements has so far outstripped a swift Icg-islative career of mu- nicipal reg'ulations and of local and territorial arrangements, that even a thorough knowledge of all the statutes cf tliis Stiile would bj no means enable a person to understand all' its di »-isions and sub- divisions — much less to teii ivhere, or ivithin ivhat county or town, many of the well known and established settlements and villages are situated. Hence arises another difficulty almost peculiar to this state, namely, that of several places bearing- the same name; — for al- tliough the legislature very properly made an attempt, in 1808, to l^ivc ?icw names to all tliose toivi.s which had a name previously ap- propriaied to some other town, the remedy everi in that respect was not quite complete ; and aftea- all it was found that so many places within the limits of siuidry towns had taken and retained the name of the town from which some of their inhabitants have migrated or for -which some of them have a fondness, that we still havene'gh- bourhoods, scttlen^cnts, post-offices, and villag'es named several tiiv.es over after .okh-r towns and villages. These not being towns nf themselves, but wholl}' contained v.-ithhi the limits of some town corporate, which has (for all purposes of elections, state and coim- ty aliairs, assessment of taxes, maintenance of the poor, &c.) a distinct and different name, they remain mistered by th.e legisla- ture. M.iny of these villages and. places will, as population and wealth increase, be erected into separate tov-ras ,-* but if they should be permitted to retain the same names the diffi.culty v.lll rather be increased than obviated bv such circumstances. And, as these * Such has recently been tiie case with Lansingliurgh, Lyons, Colonie, Salina, Saugci'- ties and Xev.-Ballimo'.'o, which lia^e been talven Crom the towns of Troy, Soqv- son can in a few minutes obtain a coiisiderably minute knowledge of the geographical situation, topography, and civil divisions and settlements of any county, and in a day or two of the whole state. \Vhether ever so great and well digested a collection of such minute {per naps trifling knowledge) coidd deserve to be ])ublish- ed e\en in a small book, some persons may probably question. Certainly any one single fact in this Manual — as the exact situation of a certain place — whetlier there be a post-office in such or such u town — where the Courts in this or that county are held — wheth- er there be any such or such a tovjH, or whether it be only a vil' lage or other jilace with a distinct acquired name, &c. — seems a very simple thing and a trivial inquiry. But, although there is scarcely a citizen who will not want, twenty times a )ear, to as- certain some one of these facts which may be of considerable con- sequence at the time, yet he will seldom be able to do so till such ; knowledge has ceased to be to him important. And it Is not vm- frequently the case that these kinds of compilations (to make which is the business of " every body and nobody," and there- fore seldom undci'taken,) prove of more real ptiblick service and '• B2 utility than m.iny other works which it might be both pleasant and rejjutuble to compose. Yet 1 hesitate not to risk this publication, because I deem sta- tistical and topographical accounts of any portion of a country of no inconsiderable importance, both in a iiistorical and political point of view. And I have observed with regret the general apa- thy which prevails in our country on the subject of collecting and embodying- facts and inforviation of this nature, while visionary and speculative essa} s and writings, as well on statisticks and his- tory, as on politicks, are sought for with so much avidity. The advantages wiiich the political and literary world derives ft'om such works as those of Sir John Sinclair, will be acknowl- edged by the statesman and historian at least. And tlie Tables of Mr. Blodget, and Mr. Coxe's " View" of the U. S. although 7iot eitiier so full or minute as to give distinct views of particular states, deserve even yet more commendation than they have re- ceived. But such a mass of information as those works were designed to give, I have not attempted to embody in these few pages — itwould have destroyed my two-1'old secondary object, brevity and cheapness. Few of tlie tiiousand little particulars of the date of the settle- ment of places, the number of houses, character and occupations of the inhabitants, soil and productions, face of tlie country, sea- sons, prospects, publick buildings, schools, roads, bridges, cu- riosities, local commerce, manufactures, agTicullure, flocks and herds, wealth, he. could come within the small compass of my plan.* Nor has any considerable work of this particular kind ap- peaied in any of the States, notwitlistanding the expectations of Dr. Miller, expressed ten years ago in his Retrospect of the 18th century. But the late establishment of an Historical Societv in this Slate, and the exertions of the individual mentioned in the prece- ding^ note, will, it is confidently to be hoped, result in the collec- tion and publication of much statistical history relative to this State, indisputably the most int.-resting and important portion of the Union. And tiie returns of the Marshals who took the late census have furnished much information on the subject of Domes- tick Manufactures. But to pursue the more immediate purpose of these remarks, I ought perhaps to state some reasons which liave governed me in the further arrangement and execution of my plan. And — 1. Tiie division into Counties was )K4. less natural than conven- ient. The people are lepresented by Counties in the lower branch of the Legislature, and not by Tcv.nsas in New-England — most of the publick conccrn.s, which do not come within the general and immediate province of the Legislature, are conducted by tlie Counties as separate communities — each County has a separate civil conun'.s'slou and list of publick officers — and therefore each County may (in a comparative sense) be considered as an inde- pendent and distim t department. Accordingiy ihis is the divl- sion and distinction most commonly used in speaking of the differ, ent jiarts of the State. • But all tin se anil numerous other particulars will be fully described by Mr. Spaffordy •whose '• Gaznfftr pfllic Suile of Nen'-Vork," soon to be published, will evhibit a. gi-eater jiiiiss ol' uuporiaiit hirtorical, yeogiaphical, lojio^raphieal, and statistical ijifbrmation, wt 11 arranged under the names ol the several towns, villages, and other places, thaft any -work of tUs aze erer yet puUbhed ia this country. 2. The Jirst sub-division is into Tovjn,';, including; the Cities, which, for most general purposes, are considered in ihe same clas3 :* These towns are from 2 or 3 to 6, 8, 10, or 15 miles squai-e, or more, as the circumstances and settlement of their ter- ritory my render most proper ; and they frequently embrace villa- ges and other places which have in common and constant use, dif- ferent arid distinct names. And the number of such places is in- creasing. Some spot favourable for manufactures, or lor tlie trans- action of mercantile or other business, suddenly becomes populous ; and if remote from an earlier settled or more noted i)art of the same town i-equires a separate m-.me as much as if an imaginai-y line sundered it from the territory of the town. And if it did not require or deserve a distinct name, still so long as it has one in com- mon and general use and is by such name distingiushed from other places, it is as necessary to know ivhat and li'here such place is, as if it were formally named by law. And therefore where a tow'n of large extent has in it a village of the savie name vcith itself, as Johnstown, it is some times essential (and always safest) to de^ signate the vilbige of the same name, '\f that be tiie place intended ; as otherwise the pei'son or thing might be supposed to be in the village of Caughnawaga, or Iri some farming or other part of the tov^n, 6 or 8 miles distant from either. 3. Hence the 5(cc;7;,7sub-division into " villages, &c." which in one column includes all the villages and other places and posts, which have acquired a distinct nayne. All these places are set directly a- gainst the town in which they are situated ; and I have distinguish- ed all tl\ose places which have fiom 15 to 20 houses compactly sit- nated, as villages, further distinguishing such of those villages as are incorporated as bodies ]-)olitiC'il. , In making these distinctions I may and most probably have omitted to designate some places in the newer counties as viltngcs which are considerable enough to deserye that name ; but these omissioiis can be but lew. And of other places still fewer, I believe, that could deserve to be men- tioned, are omitted. On the other hand, there may be a few names put down, which some may perhaps think should have been * I have prii/ied tlie names of towns and otiier places as I deemed most eon-ect after considerable examination and study. I have printed " Ne« -Hempstead," in Rockland County instead of " Hempstead" as k stands in tlie Re\ised La■^^ s, because there lieinc a Hemps-iead in Queens Comitv and this being- named " New-Hem pstead" in the oi> ginal law incorporatiiiL' it, I l>elieve the Legislature nimni it sliould he called Kpu-- Hempstiad. Bin with ri-spect to New-Cornwall, as there is no other Coniwallin th.* State, and ai it is now properly called •' Cornwall'" only, I have piinttd Jl " Cr-rirvall'' accordinsly. "Gates" is so jn-inted, because there beinV a Ndi-thaminon in Mo'i'tirom- ery, an e amination of the statutes will show that such ^\a3 "«'«»Mo be ii, name Courtlandt and Guilderlandt should no raoie be spelled <"oillan(l and tiildfrlMid thaii Schafrluicoke should l)e Skatteeook, or Hairiilton Hami/eton— alihmiL'h some' neVsons choose to pniiounce thus.
