Vol. X. NEW YORK, JANUARY, 1879. No. 1. THE EARLY HISTORY OF HEMPSTEAD, L.I. By Charles B. Moore. The earl}' history of this town requires that dates be clearly stated, and places be kept distinct. Both have often been confused. Long Island could be approached from many directions. Its posses- sion was coveted by the English, then in New England, on the north and east, and by the Dutch at the west, where the passage was narrow. It had numerous bands of Indians, with whom the whites of both nations for several years traded. Both English and Dutch were actively in pur- suit of beaver. The fur trade was profitable. Fishing, also, was an im- portant business ; for food was scarce. The English coming in crowds, sought rish more than the Dutch. The long ocean beach afforded facili- ties for getting wampum, which greatly added to the attractions. There were struggles between English and Dutch about the western part of the island, but none (unless merely on paper), for the eastern half. The villages of Southampton and Southold, at the east, in the year 1640, were settled by Englishmen, who bargained with the agent of Lord Ster- ling, under his English patent, and with the Indians, and who took posses- sion without the slightest opposition, and without interference from the Dutch. These villages, afterwards the centres of townships, were about eighty- five or ninety miles in a direct line from New York, and were separated from each other by Peconic Bay. Southampton was east of Shinecock Bay, which could be entered at the south from the ocean, and from which the whites and Indians could readily communicate with Peconic Bay at Canoe place ; and thence across Peconic Bay, or across Shelter Island, with Southold.

    C.PL.82e. KEY TO CASTELLO PLAN . DESCRIPTION OF PLATES 8~-82-e C. PLATE 82 AFBEELDINGE VAN DE STADT AMSTERDAM IN NIEUW NEEDERLANDT (The Castello Plan) Manuscript in pen and ink and 25 x 18§1l Date depicted: Summer of water- colours on paper, 1660. mounted on canvas. Date of drawing: Probably 1665-70. Artist: Copied by an unknown draughtsman from an original drawing by Jacques Cortelyou. Owner: The Italian Government; preserved in the Villa Castello, near Florence, Italy. The following French inscription (partly torn away) in the right-hand lower margin of the view is evidently in a later hand. It is the only suggestion of a possible provenance other than that suggested in the Introduction: Vue dIe Nieu] Amste[rdam au] Canada [aujour d'hui] Appel [Ii New] Yorck A similar but less complete inscription on the Castello copy of the Manatus Map is preceded by the number 74. Similar inscriptions are found on many of the other drawings in this series. Two water-marks are vaguely discernible: the first, just to the left of the Fort, a crowned shield and fleur-de-lis; the second, outside of the wall near the third bastion, the monogram I HS. Reproduced and described here for the first time. A careful study of the Castello Plan, in comparison with the Nicasius de Sille List [1], which is dated July 10, 1660, has led to the conclusion that most of the data embodied in the Plan were compiled before this List was made, but that the actual draughting was not completed until some time afterward; or, in other words, that the Castello Plan is based upon the Cortelyou Survey ordered on June 7, 1660, and completed just in time to be despatched in the ship which carried Stuyvesant's well-known letter of October 6th of that year, addressed to the directors in Amsterdam, and containing the words: "After ['1 "List of the survey (or census) of Houses on the 10 July 1(60: within this town Amsterdam in N: Neder­ iant," by Nicasius De Sille.
