A view of New York about 1695 is no. 39 in the gallery of the N. Y. Hist. Society. Cf. Mrs. Lamb’s _New York_, i. p. 455, for one assigned to 1704. A view purporting to be taken in 1750 is found in Delisle’s _Atlas_ (1757). A collection of views of towns, which was published by Jan Roman at Amsterdam in 1752, included one of _Nieu Amsterdam, namaels Nieu York_. (Muller’s _Catal. of American Portraits_, etc., no. 310.)[592] The earliest plan of New York of the period which we are now considering is one which appeared in the Rev. John Miller’s _Description of the Province and City of New York, with the plans of the City and several forts, as they existed in the year 1695, now first printed from the original MS._ (London, Rodd, 1843), and in a new ed., with introd. and notes by Dr. Shea (N. Y., Gowans, 1862). See Vol. III. p. 420, of the present _History_, and Mrs. Lamb’s _New York_ (i. 421). A fac-simile of this plan, marked “New York, 1695,” is annexed. It is reproduced several times in Valentine’s _New York City Manual_ (1843-44, 1844-45, 1845-46, 1847, 1848, 1850, 1851, 1852), and is explained by the following: [Illustration: KEY: 1, the chapel in the fort of New York; 2, Leysler’s half-moon; 3, Whitehall battery of 15 guns; 4, the old dock; 5, the cage and stocks; 6, stadt-house battery of 5 guns; 7, the stadt or state house; 8, the custom-house; 8, 8, the bridge; 9, Burgher’s or the slip battery of 10 guns; 10, the fly block-house and half-moon; 11, the slaughter-house; 12, the new docks; 13, the French church; 14, the Jews’ synagogue; 15, the fort well and pump; 16, Ellet’s alley; 17, the works on the west side of the city; 18, the northwest block-house; 19, 19, the Lutheran church and minister’s house; 20, 20, the stone points on the north side of the city; 21, the Dutch Calvinists’ church, built 1692; 22, the Dutch Calvinists’ minister’s house; 23, the burying-ground; 24, a windmill; 25, the king’s farm; 26, Col. Dungan’s garden; 27, 27, wells; 28, the plat of ground designed for the E. minister’s house; 29, 29, the stockado, with a bank of earth on the inside; 30, the ground proper for the building an E. church; 31, 31, showing the sea flowing about New York; 32, 32, the city gates; 33, a postern gate.] There is a MS. plan of this date (1695) in the British Museum. A plan of the fort in New York (1695) is also given by Miller, and is reproduced in Gowan’s ed. of Miller, p. 264. (Cf. _Appleton’s Journal_, viii. p. 353.) The _Brit. Mus. Map Catal._ (1885), col. 2,972, notes a map by J. Seller, London; and a _Novum Amsterdamum_, probably by Vander Aa, at Leyden, in 1720. A large _Plan of the City of New York, from an actual survey, made by Iames Lyne_, was published by William Bradford, and dedicated to Gov. Montgomerie, while Col. Robt. Lurting was mayor, in 1728. It has been reproduced wholly or in part at various times.[593]
