To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There were several prominent points on the Zandt Berg. The residence of Abraham Mortier, Commissary in the British Army, was erected about the year 1760 on one extremity of this range. This build- ing was subsequently called the Richmond Hill House. The position of this house was near the present corner of Varick and Charlton streets. ' 1 The Republic newspaper (place of publication aknown) gives a coarse wood-cut of what it terms "a shabby ruin. " It says: "The old frame house standing on the ...southwest corner of Hudson ( ?) and Charlton Streets, New York City, is pointed out by old residents as being all that is left of what at one time was the finest residence on Manhattan Island. It is what remains of the celebrated Rich- mond Hill mansion. " The paper states that it came into the possession of Colonel Burr at the time of his 207 208 THEODOSIA marriage to Mrs. Prevost in 1782, but this statement is manifestly erroneous, as Colonel Burr lived first in Albany. When he came to New York City, after its evacuation by the British in November, 1783, he took a house in Maiden Lane.
