Committee on Publications: ALEXANDER J. WALL R. HORACE GALLATIN FRANK WIENER Edition Limited to Two Hundred Copies Calendar of New York Colonial Commissions 1680-1770 ABSTRACTED BY THE LATE EDMUND B. O'CALLAGHAN, M.D., LL.D. New York The New-York Historical Society 1929 COLONIAL COMMISSIONS 1680-1770 Previous to the fire of 1911 in the State Library at Albany, N. Y., ·there existed five volumes of original commissions, orders, and warrants for various appointments and commands both civil and military, relating to the Province of New York and covering the period 1680 through 1770. These volumes were part of a series of thirty-eight in the office of the Secretary of State and were trans­ ferred to the State Library before the fire which destroyed them. The balance of the volumes from six to thirty-eight still remain in the Secretary of State's office and date from 1770 to 1822. Among the papers of the late Dr. E. B. ·o'Callaghan transferred to The New York Historical Society in 1882, after his death, was a calendar of the first twenty, books of commissions which makes available a digest of each of the original documents lost in the fire, giving the date, from and to whom issued, and for what purpose. This abstract of a most important series of lost records becomes, therefore, first-hand information. Dr. O'Callaghan's calendar of volumes one through five was first printed serially in the QUARTERLY BULLETIN of The New York Historical Society beginning in January, 1924, and running through July, 1928, and is here reprinted with an index by Miss Dorothy C.

    Drama at the Van Cortlandt House

    Lesson Plan: Drama at the Van Cortlandt House Architect: Frederick Van Cortlandt Site: Van Cortlandt House, 1748-49 Curriculum Link: High School U.S. History Unit Two: A:3 Colonial experience: political rights and mercantile relationships A:4 The Revolutionary War Project Aim: Students study the architectural and historical site of the Van Cortlandt House, the oldest building in the Bronx, home of the prominent Van Cortlandt family, and strategic location for the Revolutionary War. Vocabulary: Georgian architecture: The classical architectural style current between 1720 and 1840, named after the four British monarchs named George. Georgian Architecture is characterized by its sense of proportion and balance. Georgian designs usually include one or more of the orders of architecture and other elements derived from ancient Rome or Greece. In the United States, this style became unpopular after the Revolution, due to its association with the colonial regime. Column: An upright post, bearing the load of the upper part of a building. It consists of a base, a shaft, and a capital. An engaged column is half a column, attached to a wall, and non-weight bearing. Pilasters: A rectangular engaged column, sometimes decorative, but at other times used to buttress a wall. Description: Oloff Stevense Van Cortlandt was a Dutch merchant who built his fortune through trade. His son, Jacobus Van Cortlandt began purchasing land in the Bronx in 1694, and gradually turned the family business into a wheat plantation with extensive milling operations. Jacobus’ son, Frederick, inherited the estate and commissioned the Van Cortlandt House in 1748. He chose for his house the English Georgian style of architecture, but added details that do not fit in with architectural conventions of the day.
