The Subscriber presents to the public his fourth vol­ ume of the ALBANY DIRECTORY, containing in the Al­ phabet more than six thousand names, together with a CITY REGISTER of such miscellaneous matter as relates to the city of Albany, and is of general interest to its citizens. In presenting this volume to his fellow citi­ zens, he regrets that he is compelled to appear before them in vindication of his rights, and to expose the sur­ reptitious efforts of an opposition to him, got up regard­ less alike of the dictates of honor, truth, or justice. The present publisher became so by an honorable and mutual arrangement with his predecessor, and in ac­ cordance with a practice heretofore observed. To a fair and honorable competition he claims no right to object; but to sly anticipation, over-reaching dis­ position, false insinuations and inducements bold out to the public to force him from the field, he enters his protest. That such has been the case can be proved by many of the most respectable citizens of Albany. In the compilation of the work, pains have been ta­ ken to make it correct, and so far as unwearied exer­ tions could make it so, has been done. It has been published at as early a day as it conveniently could be. To his subscribers and advertising friends he respect­ fully returns his acknowledgments; to the public gen­ erally, he looks for that patronage which has supported him in the publication of this work for the three previ­ ous years. He believes that all has been inserted in this Directory that is necessary in a work of the kind PREFACE. 8 Throughout this Directory the christian names, of those where there are more than one of the same sur­ name, are alphabetically arranged. The christian names of those composing firms are uniformly given. The females are placed after the males of the same surname, and when they are known to be widows, they are so designated. In all cases the place of business is named first, and then the private residence. In searching for a name, the inquirer must know the pro­ per spelling: a person seeking for Bernes will not find the one sought for if he take the direction appen­ ded to Burns: so also for Cary he should not seek for Carey : for Fisher not for Visscher : for Mayer not for Myer : for Deuell not for Duell: for Dickson not for Dixon : for Garite not for Gerity: for Goold not for Gould: for Gracie not for Grassie : for Houston not for Hewson : for Huff not for Hough : for Johnston not for Johnson: for Hotaling not for Houghtaling : for Pearson not for Pierson: for Haite not for Hale: for Groat not for Groot: for Pearce not for Pierce : &c. &c The charges of inaccuracy in the work in almost eve­ ry case, are chargeable to a want of the correct know­ ledge of spelling the name sought for.

March 20, 2011 200th Birthday for the Map That Made New York By SAM ROBERTS Henry James condemned it a century ago as a “primal topographic curse.” Rem Koolhaas, the architect and urbanist, countered that its two-dimensional form created “undreamed-of freedom for three-dimensional anarchy.” More recently, two historians described its map, regardless of its flaws, as “the single most important document in New York City’s development.” Two hundred years ago on Tuesday, the city’s street commissioners certified the no-frills street matrix that heralded New York’s transformation into the City of Angles — the rigid 90- degree grid that spurred unprecedented development, gave birth to vehicular gridlock and defiant jaywalking, and spawned a new breed of entrepreneurs who would exponentially raise the value of Manhattan’s real estate. Today, debate endures about the grid, which mapped out 11 major avenues and 155 crosstown streets along which modern Manhattan would rise. The grid was the great leveler. By shifting millions of cubic yards of earth and rock, it carved out modest but equal flat lots (mostly 25 by 100 feet) available for purchase. And if it fostered what de Tocqueville viewed as relentless monotony, its coordinates also enabled drivers and pedestrians to figure out where they stood, physically and metaphorically.

Ponton In 1960, John F. Kennedy, a wealthy New England Catholic, traveled to a rural, Protestant state to contend in an election that few thought he could win. While many scholars have examined the impact of Kennedy’s victory in the West Virginia primary, few have analyzed the importance that his visit to the state in 1960 and his ensuing administration had on West Virginia. Kennedy enacted a number of policies directed specifically toward relieving the poverty that had plagued West Virginia since statehood.

Porter, the U.S. Congressman, first elected in 1808 to represent western New York, were leading advocates of a war of conquest against the British over Canada. Tompkins was particularly interested in recruiting and training a state militia and opening and equipping state arsenals in preparation for such a war. Normally, militiamen were obligated only for three months of duty during the War of 1812, although if the President requested, the period could be extended to a maximum of six months. When the militia was called into service by the governor or his officers, it was paid by the state. When called by the President or an officer of the U.S. Army, it was paid by the U.S. Treasury. In 1808, the United States Congress took the first steps toward federalizing state militias by appropriating $200,000 – a hopelessly inadequate sum – to arm and train citizen soldiers needed to supplement the nation’s tiny standing army.

  • Daniel D. Tompkins, War Governor
    Daniel D. Tompkins, War Governor Richard V. Barbuto {Editor’s note: This paper was presented at the 6th Annual International War of 1812 Symposium at Oswego New York on 2 April 2016} New York and the contiguous British provinces of Upper and Lower Canada were the center of fighting for the duration of the war. From the Niagara River across Lakes Ontario and Champlain and down the Saint Lawrence River toward Montreal, soldiers, sailors, and native warriors contended fiercely while civilians suffered grievously. While the U.S. Constitution assigned the defense of the nation and the function of declaring and waging war to the federal government, it was widely understood that the conduct of war was a shared enterprise between the federal and state governments. While the governors of the New England states avoided participation in the conflict, Governor Daniel D. Tompkins of New York worked closely with the Madison Administration to prosecute the war. General studies of the war focus largely on the conduct of the federal government. However, the role of New York, both as a staging area for the invasions of the Canadas and as a source of material and human resources, has been treated lightly. Historians have cited Tompkins as an ardent supporter of the war, but his specific contributions receive minimal attention. This is somewhat odd, since in his role as commander-in-chief of the state militia, he had a potential land force larger than the regular army. This essay is a preliminary examination of his efforts over five years to prepare New York for war with the British Empire and his work resourcing the conflict once Congress declared war.

  • Annual Report 2016
    Thank you to everyone who helped the Albany Institute of History & Art to commemorate a significant milestone---the museum’s 225th anniversary. We celebrated the year in style with exhibitions ranging from “Masterworks” and Alexander Hamilton to Rock & Roll Icons, special programming, a new café, art-making activities for people of all ages, a new program for people with Alzheimer’s, community partnerships, and special events such as Hudson Valley Hops, Mummy Birthday, and the Gala. Throughout the year, the museum offered $2.25 admission on Saturdays as a birthday gift to our patrons. We also created a new timeline highlighting the people, events, and objects that shaped the 225 year history of New York State’s oldest museum, which can be viewed on our website. In 2016 we welcomed 33,970 people to the museum, an increase of almost 9,000 people over 2015. The museum’s digital audience has expanded as virtual access to our collections, online exhibitions, and school curriculum materials has increased. Our membership increased by 11%, bucking the national trend. Participation in our art-making activities such as Art for All increased by 93% and 49% for Tute for Tots after revamping program offering and times. Contributions to the museum’s operations and special projects rose dramatically. Technology advancements included Wi-Fi in the galleries and public spaces and a new Smart Board and document camera for the classroom. If you visit our page on the Goggle Cultural Institute, you can take a virtual tour of our galleries. With funding from the New York State Council on the Arts, we installed LED lighting in the galleries, resulting in an annual savings of $9,000.
