"To Be Sold, in the New-City" (1784)

TO BE SOLD,In the New-City, ten miles above Albany,A LOT of GROUND, fifty feet in front next to the river, and one hundred and twenty feet deep. It is a corner Lot, and esteemed the best situation in the City.ALSO, Two other Lots of Ground, in the New-City, and a Lot of Ground, of four acres of meadow land nearly adjoining. The situation of the New-City, is so well known that few encomiums are necessary to recommend an estate in that neighborhood; suffice it to say, that the Fur Trade, that valuable and staple commodity, will nearly centre there; add to which, the alluring prospect of a general and extensive Commerce, that is held out, and naturally expected from many gentlemen of fortune and ability, being already settled in the New-City, forcibly point out the very eligible situation of the above Lots of Ground.Independent Journal [NYC].
