Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Description of the Province and City of New York: With Plans of the City and Several Forts as They Existed in the Year 1695
Here lofty trees, to ancient song unknown, The noble sons of potent heat and floods, Prone-rushing from the clouds, rear high to Heaven Their thorny stems and broad around them throw Meridian gloom. Here, in eternal prime, Unnumber'd fruits, of keen, delicious taste And vital spirit, drink amid the cliffs, And burning sands that bank the shrubby vales. - thomson.
