 Introduction 
 
 DAVID T. VALENTINE 
 
 OUR city's chronicler" is the honora- 
 ble title bestowed upon Mr. David 
 Thomas Valentine by his contempo- 
 rary, the genial gentleman, popular physician, 
 and entertaining local historian, Dr. John W. 
 Francis. The pity of it is, that Mr. Valentine 
 did not appear earlier upon the scene in the 
 role he filled so admirably, for the custodians of 
 the City's records before his advent, apparently 
 had little or no conception of the historical 
 value of the papers committed to their care, and 
 were far from being Cerberean in their watch- 
 fulness, to judge from the number of valuable 
 municipal documents that found their way, from 
 time to time, into second-hand book- and print- 
 shops, and so passed on into the outstretched 
 hands of covetous autograph- and relic-hunters. 
 Mr. Valentine comments on this negligence 
 in the care and keeping of the Dutch records
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 of the City in a letter written to Mr. Henry B. 
 Dawson, Editor of the " Historical Magazine," 
 dated January 2, 1867, from which we extract 
 the following paragraph : 
 
 "They were not very attentively cared for, 
 having been without readers for probably a cen- 
 tury and more. No attempt had been made to 
 translate them ; and of the history of New Am- 
 sterdam and of the times in which lived and 
 acted the revered fathers of our City and State, 
 which has since been so fully revealed, so large 
 a portion was not supposed to lie hidden in these 
 dusty, unbound and forbidding volumes." 
 
 With this letter to Mr. Dawson, Mr. Valen- 
 tine encloses the following resolution passed by 
 the Common Council : 
 
 IN COMMON COUNCIL 
 
 Resolved, That permission is hereby given to 
 Henry B. Dawson, Editor of the " Historical Maga- 
 zine," to make copies of and to publish in that work, 
 from time to time, such portions of the ancient Rec- 
 ords of this Corporation and such of its papers on file 
 as, in his opinion, shall serve to illustrate the early his- 
 tory of this State and City, and the character and habits 
 of the inhabitants, provided the same shall be done 
 under the direction and supervision of the Clerk of
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 the Common Council ; and that the said Records shall 
 not be removed from the Clerk's office. 
 
 Adopted by the Board of Aldermen, December 6, 
 1866. 
 
 Adopted by the Board of Councilmen, December 
 10, 1866. 
 
 Adopted by his Honor the Mayor, December 13, 
 1866. 
 
 D. T. Valentine, 
 Clerk of the Common Council. 
 
 Mr. Dawson found that these records of the 
 Corporation extended no further back than the 
 last of May, 1647, when Peter Stuyvesant was 
 Governor, but from that time on Mr. Dawson 
 writes, " there is an unbroken record save only 
 where a single volume of a comparatively recent 
 period, has been abstracted from the archives." 
 
 A notable instance of carelessness on the 
 part of those in charge of the City's documents 
 came to light in the sale in 1 864 of the books, 
 prints and bric-a-brac of the venerable book- 
 hunter, John Allan. The letter of General 
 Washington in reply to the Address of the Cor- 
 poration of the City of New York, conferring 
 upon him the freedom of the city in 1785, was 
 knocked down for $2,050, but the proof of 
 ownership in this case was a simple matter

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 and the letter was at once reclaimed by the City. 
 If so important a document as this could escape 
 from the City's guardianship, what others of 
 less value might not follow in its wake ? It is 
 not necessary to conclude, however, that these 
 things came to pass through intentional dis- 
 honesty, but probably were the result of igno- 
 rance, the room occupied by these yellow, musty 
 papers being adjudged more desirable than their 
 company. 
 
 It was indeed fortunate that a man of anti- 
 quarian tastes and imbued with civic love and 
 pride enjoyed the opportunities that fell to the 
 lot of Mr. Valentine under the patronage of our 
 city fathers, also that he possessed the patience 
 and perseverance to dig and delve among these 
 dingy records of the past (or compensate some 
 one to do it for him) and had the enterprise to 
 print and illustrate the results of his investiga- 
 tions. Valentine's " Manuals of the Corporation 
 of the City of New York" are indeed a mine 
 of wealth to every one who is interested in the 
 history of this great city. Their editor appears 
 to have unearthed nearly every painting, print, 
 drawing and map of importance that bears any 
 relation to our city, from the earliest settlement 
 of the Island of Manhattan down to the middle
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 of the last century. These he reproduced by 
 means of lithography and chromo-lithography, 
 for happily it was before the day of the half-tone 
 print. 
 
 For some unknown reason, most of these re- 
 productions are without any indication of the 
 sources from which they were derived. They 
 usually bear merely the inscription "copied for 
 D. T. Valentine's Manual by G. Hayward, 120 
 Water St.," et al. So uniform is Mr. Valentine's 
 practice in this respect that we are led to believe 
 that it was premeditated, but this secretiveness 
 on his part has only served to whet our curiosity, 
 and the genesis of only a very few of the views 
 he reproduced now remains a mystery. 
 
 To the young and inexperienced collector, 
 the prints in "Valentine's Manual" are invaluable 
 as sign-boards, if nothing more. They point to 
 prints of Old New York the existence of which 
 he would never otherwise have imagined, and 
 lead him onward in a search which in many 
 cases will prove fruitless, but, occasionally may 
 be crowned with success. 
 
 David Thomas Valentine was born in East 
 Chester, N. Y., on the 1 5th of September, 1 80 1 . 
 He attended school at White Plains, and when 
 about sixteen years of age came to the City of 
 
 xiii
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 New York. He obtained a position with a 
 grocer in whose service he remained for several 
 years prior to his appointment as Clerk to the 
 Marine Court. In 1830 he became Deputy to 
 the Clerk of the Common Council. His chief 
 was Major General Jacob Morton, who had 
 served as Clerk for twenty-one years. General 
 Morton was a prominent politician and a man 
 of high standing in the community. His wife was 
 the daughter of Carey Ludlow, who in 1768 
 purchased a parcel of land from Abraham Lym- 
 sen on which he later erected a dignified dwell- 
 ing, of which there is an illustration in the 
 Manual for i860, and which is still standing at 
 No. 9 State Street. Mrs. Morton inherited this 
 dwelling from her father. In 1824 General and 
 Mrs. Morton gave a ball in honor of Lafayette 
 at this residence. General Morton continued 
 as Clerk of the Common Council until his death 
 in 1836. His successor was Thomas Bolton, 
 who served until 1841. S. J. Willis then filled 
 the office for a year, and again after an interval 
 of one year (during which J. R. Taylor was 
 Clerk) Mr. Willis occupied the position for an- 
 other year. C. A. Whitney succeeded Mr. Wil- 
 lis, and after twelve months' time was succeeded 
 in 1 845 by the subject of our sketch.

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 In January, 1868, after a service of thirty- 
 seven years as Deputy Clerk and Clerk of the 
 Corporation, Mr. Valentine was superseded in 
 office by Joseph Shannon and he died in this 
 city the following year (February 25, 1869). 
 His death was perhaps hastened, as suggested bv 
 Dr. Kendrick in his funeral address, by the loss 
 of the position the " old and faithful clerk " had 
 held so many years. The forced or voluntary 
 relinquishment at an advanced age of the pur- 
 suits of a lifetime often speedily ushers in the 
 final scene, and the superannuated man, without 
 an occupation, is apt soon to join the great ma- 
 jority. 
 
 Mr. Valentine was buried from the Baptist 
 Tabernacle Church (still standing) on Second 
 Avenue, adjoining the building of the New York 
 Historical Society. 
 
 In 1 85 1, the Common Council voted an ap- 
 propriation of five hundred dollars for the pur- 
 chase of a portrait of Mr. Valentine in token 
 of its esteem and recognition of his long and 
 faithful services. It was painted by C. W. 
 Jarvis, an artist of some ability.

 Council (New York : G. P. Putnam & Co.,

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 1853), as tne title-page reads, was, in truth, ac- 
 cording to Joseph Sabin Senior (see his " Biblio- 
 theca Americana," Vol. XIV, p. 254), compiled 
 by W. K. Paulding. Mr. Valentine's name is 
 also attached to a "Documentary History of New 
 York," only the first volume of which was ever 
 published ; likewise to a " Compilation of the 
 laws of the State of New York " relating particu- 
 larly to the City of New York, published in 
 1 862, and a " Compilation of the existing Ferry 
 Leases and Railroad Grants made by the Cor- 
 poration of the City of New York, etc., N. Y., 
 1 866." The revision of the City Ordinances in 
 1859 and 1862 were also prepared by him, by 
 order of the Common Council, but the work by 
 which he is most widely known is the " Manual 
 of the Corporation of the City of New York " in 
 twenty-five successive annual volumes, com- 
 menced in 1 841 and conducted by Mr. Valen- 
 tine until 1 866. 
 
 The first Manual (184 1-2) was printed "by 
 order of the Common Council" and copy- 
 righted in 1 84 1 "by Samuel J. Willis, in be- 
 half of the Corporation of the City of New 
 York." The reason for the publication is given 
 in the preface thus : " It having been thought 
 expedient to enlarge the substance of the City

 Hall Directory, as heretofore annually published, 
 by the introduction of additional matter inter- 
 esting and useful to members of the Corporation 
 and others connected with them, the contents 
 and form of this volume have been selected as 
 most useful and convenient for reference." 
 
 It is a small volume of 185 pages bound 
 in black muslin, 4^ inches tall and 3^ inches 
 wide. Its sole illustration is a folding map of 
 the City in 1841. The list of contents is here 
 transcribed to show the general character of the 
 publication at the time of its humble beginning. 
 Most of the items in this list are repeated in 
 each of the subsequent volumes. The growth 
 of the work is shown by the fact that in this 
 volume one small page suffices for the list of 
 contents, while ten pages are requisite for this 
 same purpose in the volume for 1866.

 It is interesting to note that this Manual re- 
 cords the debt of the City as $8,978,167. The 
 population in 1840 was 312,852. At the elec- 
 tion for Mayor held on April 13, 1841, Mr. 
 Robert H. Morris was chosen by a vote of 18,-

 602 ; his opponent being Mr. J. Phillips Phoenix, 
 who received 18,206 votes and Mr. Samuel F. 
 B. Morse, who received but yy votes. How 
 small a following for one who so soon was to 
 bless humanity at large with his great inven- 
 tion! The salary of the Mayor in this year was 
 $3,000, and that of Mr. Valentine as Assistant 
 Clerk $1,700. 
 
 The second volume of the Manual ( 1 842-3) 
 bears the name of D. T. Valentine on the title- 
 page. It contains a lithographic view of the 
 Croton Dam, a map of the City in 1842, and a 
 fac-simile, on very thin paper (almost a tissue 
 paper), of the Bradford Map, with the errone- 
 ous date of 1728 affixed. In the volume for 
 1844-5 this ma P 1S a g am reproduced on simi- 
 larly thin paper, for what particular reason we 
 are unable to surmise, for no other maps in the 
 Manual are printed upon paper of this gossamer 
 texture. 
 
 The Preface to the Manual for 1842-3 re- 
 cites that "The Manual published last year hav- 
 ing been received with marked approbation 
 . . . for its value as a reference to our City 
 affairs ; and as the edition is entirely exhausted 
 . . . it has been deemed advisable to publish 
 the present work, which it will be perceived is 
 
 xix
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 much larger than the preceding one." The 
 Table of Contents contains fifty items as against 
 twenty-six in the previous volume. The third 
 Manual (1843-4) was printed by Wm. C. Bry- 
 ant, and for it, as the preface announces "much 
 new matter had been selected, never before 
 published in any work of this character, which 
 will not only be useful to the municipal authori- 
 ties and their officers, but to every class of our 
 citizens." 
 
 Historical data, extracts from early news- 
 papers, etc., appear for the first time in the vol- 
 ume for 1844-5. Thenceforth these transcripts 
 are prominent features of the Manual and be- 
 come more and more copious as the years roll 
 by; while the pictures (lithographs for the full- 
 page illustrations and woodcuts in the text) 
 multiply with corresponding rapidity. The sub- 
 jects of these illustrations by degrees become 
 more modern in character as the supply of early 
 views was gradually exhausted. 
 
 The volume for 1845-6 gives the resolution 
 of the Board authorizing its issue, as follows: 
 " Resolved, that the Clerk of this Board, David 
 T. Valentine, be requested to prepare a Manual 
 of the Corporation of the City of New York for 
 the years 1845 anc ^ 1846." This resolution was 
 
 XX
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 approved by the Mayor, Wm. F. Havemeyer, 
 January 21, 1846. 
 
 In the preface to this Manual it is stated 
 that "in the selection of materials the Compiler 
 flatters himself that he has bestowed unusual 
 care, and has diligently explored the civic rec- 
 ords and annals of our Municipal Government 
 from the earliest period, he fully believes that 
 he has rescued many facts and interesting docu- 
 ments from oblivion, to which they were has- 
 tening down the stream of time." 
 
 The volume for 1844-5 is taller by one inch 
 than its predecessors, and in 1849 tne Manual 
 was still further enlarged to a duodecimo and was 
 continued in this form until the end of the series 
 with which Mr. Valentine was connected. 
 
 The preface to this volume contains the 
 following note : " The reader is most respectfully 
 requested to examine that portion of the work 
 that relates to the doings of our ancestors in 
 early times. . . . To the rising generation he 
 would say, that the sayings and doings of those 
 who found this Island a barren waste and laid 
 here the foundations of this City ought to be of 
 intense interest." 
 
 The preface to the Manual for 1856, from 
 which we are about to quote at some length, 
 
 xxi
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 should appeal strongly to the members of the 
 Society of Iconophiles, for it breathes the same 
 spirit that led to the formation of that Society, 
 and which has held together that little band of 
 lovers of old New York. 
 
 "The Compiler of this Manual for 1856 
 thinks it not improper to advert to the fact 
 . . . that his efforts to perpetuate therein the 
 old landmarks of our City by engravings and 
 historical sketches of the olden time have ex- 
 cited an approving sentiment in the public 
 mind. . . . This has been anticipated by him, 
 for in no other way than by establishing a well- 
 known medium, through which the relics of 
 the past could be presented to the public, could 
 the many interesting memorials hidden among 
 the family archives of the descendants of ancient 
 stock, be brought into public notice. It is 
 from such individual resources that many of 
 the views which have never before been en- 
 graved and published, have been furnished, and 
 he has besides found several gentlemen who 
 from love of the subject itself, have lent their 
 active co-operation in searching out and present- 
 ing for publication such mementos of the past 
 as they were able to discover. But the subject 
 is not by any means exhausted ; and, indeed, the
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 Compiler has every reason to anticipate still 
 more interesting contributions for any future 
 number of the Manual that may be published 
 so that it is probable that a full series of this 
 work will present an epitome of our early his- 
 tory, which could not, through another means, 
 be reasonably expected to be presented to the 
 public. Taking into consideration the interest 
 with which our local history has always been 
 regarded by our community and the present 
 rapid progress of the City which promises soon 
 to obliterate all the natural landmarks of the 
 island, the Compiler thinks it not inappropriate 
 to venture his approval of suggestions which 
 have been made in respect to the preservation 
 of views of such localities as now present no- 
 ticeable features in the natural formation of the 
 island, of old dwellings, farmhouses, country- 
 seats, etc., as well as of the more prominent 
 buildings, private and public, which denote the 
 present fashions of architecture. It is provid- 
 ing for future generations what we greatly 
 wish had been provided for us, for there are 
 many now among us who would look upon a 
 crude sketch of old Burgomaster Van Cortland's 
 residence, or the Damen farmhouse, or a line of 
 dwellings in Broadway a century ago; or, indeed, 
 
 xxiii
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 any picture of localities now obliterated rather 
 than upon the finest gem of modern art." 
 
 Many of the historical and biographical ar- 
 ticles in the Manuals are signed by the con- 
 tributors, among them being Henry B. Dawson, 
 R. G. Horton and John Gilmary Shea. The ex- 
 tracts from early newspapers were supplied 
 principally (the writer is informed) by William 
 Kelby, late Librarian of the New York His- 
 torical Society. Among the most interesting of 
 these extracts are those which relate to the 
 evacuation of the City of New York, pages 772- 
 844 in the Manual of 1870. 
 
 The first statement in the Manuals of the 
 number of copies issued is found in the volume 
 for 1864. In this year 9,000 copies were 
 ordered printed. The edition for 1865 con- 
 sisted of 10,000 copies, that for 1866 the same. 
 The resolution authorizing the issue for 1866 
 carried an appropriation of $3,500 to D. T. 
 Valentine to compensate him for his labor. 
 Mayor Hoffman vetoed this resolution, but it was 
 passed by a two-thirds vote over his veto. At 
 this time Mr. Valentine's salary was $5,000 and 
 he received $150 additional for the preparation 
 of the minutes of the board for publication. 
 
 The last Manual prepared under Mr. Val-
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 entine's supervision was the one for 1866. It 
 is a volume of 836 pages, and presents a remark- 
 able contrast to the little square black-cloth- 
 covered booklet of 185 pages with which the 
 series began. 
 
 No Manual was issued in 1867, but one ap- 
 peared the following year prepared by the newly 
 appointed Clerk, Joseph Shannon. This is 
 readily distinguishable from its predecessors by 
 its size, for it is an octavo instead of the stere- 
 otyped small octavo of all its forerunners save 
 the first five volumes. 
 
 Of this Manual 15,000 copies were issued. 
 500 were assigned to the Mayor, 4,500 to the 
 Clerk of the Common Council, 5,000 to the 
 Board of Aldermen, and 5,000 to the Board of 
 Councilmen. In his preface Mr. Shannon pays 
 this tribute to his predecessor: "The enviable 
 reputation secured for former editions of the 
 work by the original compiler, imposed the 
 duty upon his successor of endeavoring to pre- 
 serve it." 
 
 The Manual for 1869 was also issued by 
 Mr. Shannon and in the preface he states that 
 "he has been aided by the kind tender of ac- 
 cess to a most extensive and valuable collection 
 of original letters and papers of an ante-revolu-

 tionary date, in possession of T. Bailey Meyers, re- 
 lating to the history of the Province and the City 
 of New York, and he has drawn heavily upon the 
 store so generously placed at his disposal." 
 
 In 1870 John Hardy, who had succeeded 
 Shannon in the Clerkship, prepared and pub- 
 lished the last of these convenient hand-books 
 of the Common Council of the Corporation of 
 the City of New York. Since then our City 
 fathers have been obliged to discharge the duties 
 of their office without this assistance. 
 
 The first five volumes of the Manual are in 
 a class by themselves, they are, and long have 
 been, rare books, but the large editions of the 
 succeeding volumes must have supplied every 
 one connected with the city Government from 
 His Honor the Mayor, down to the doorkeepers 
 of the Aldermanic and Common Council Cham- 
 bers with as many copies as he required for 
 distribution among his friends and constituents. 
 Those intended for general circulation were uni- 
 formly bound in cloth, but those laid upon 
 the desks of the members of the Aldermen and 
 Councilmen were resplendent in red Turkey 
 Morocco gilt, with the name of the recipient 
 lettered in gold upon the sides. 
 
 In consequence of this wide distribution at
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 the City's expense, Valentine's Manual plates 
 were for years a glut in the market, and so 
 plentiful were they in the print-shops that extra- 
 illustrators avoided them as too commonplace 
 for their purpose, but gradually they became ab- 
 sorbed and as the supply steadily diminished, 
 they have correspondingly increased in popularity 
 and enhanced in value. With a number of these 
 plates, however, it has always been with the 
 collector a case of Hobson's choice. It was 
 either a Manual picture of the landmark of 
 which he was in search or none at all. 
 
 A trustworthy guide through the labyrinth 
 of this mass of pictorial matter seemed de- 
 sirable in the eyes of the Iconophiles and there- 
 fore they have caused this Index to the Illustra- 
 tions in the Manuals of the Corporation of the 
 City of New York, prepared by the Secretary 
 of their Society with great care and labor, to be 
 printed for the benefit of those who wish to 
 gather and preserve memorials of this ever- 
 changing City of ours.
