 Description: More than a hundred and fifty years ago, there lived, just without the goodly city of New York, but far within its present precincts, a worthy Dutch burgher whose name was not Van Corlear. It is ventured, however, to borrow that venerable patronymic in his behalf, withholding his real name, lest some of his irascible descendants, jealous of ancestral fame, may impugn the verity of those family secrets which are about to be divulged. This prudential arrangement in relation to names is intended also to extend to the other personages mentioned in the following history; and when thus much of fiction is so frankly acknowledged, it is hoped that the reader will be therewith content, and will be willing to concede to the more material matters the credence they deserve.
