Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Site of the Assay Office on Wall Street: An Illustrated Historical Sketch of the Successive Public Buildings and Men in Public Life Connected With the Site; Interspersed With Some Family History The land on which the Assay Office stands has been devoted to public use or been the home of men in public service for nearly three centuries. During the latter part of the Dutch Government a wall or cingel ran along the northern boundary of New Amsterdam from river to river, as a protection against the Indians, and also as some historians contend, against the aggressions of the Yankees of Connecticut of whom the burghers were equally apprehensive. The term cingel was also applied to the passageway along the inside of the wall, details of which are shown in Stokes Iconography of Manhattan Island (published in 1918), particularly volume II, plate 87. The wall was removed soon after British rule was established by the cession of New Netherland in 1673; for the Dutch had recaptured New Amsterdam a few years before and the little town had spread northward.
