UNIVERSITY OF From " The_Iconography of the Battery and Castle Garden." / Copyright, 1901, by William Loring Andrews . THE GOVERNMENT HOofe. 1795 THE ICONOGRAPHY OE/THE BATTERY AND CASTLE /GARDEN n THE view of the Government/House here reproduced from the/plate in the New York Magazine of/ January, 1795, is taken from the nori^west corner of the Battery near the end/x>f Greenwich Street. It exhibits a parj/of the city and some portion of the gren and walk on the Battery. John Drayton's /Tour Through the Northern and Eastern States in 1794" contains a prett/ copper-plate engraving of the Battery' from a drawing by the author himsett. It is an important little picture in Jfae iconography of New York City, for n is the only one in existence, so far as Lrcnow, which shows the Battery at this jrarticular time from the landward side. This view is accompanied by the following interesting narrative from the pen of ou^r distinguished visitor from South Carolina: "After passtog these islands we came opposite the Bakery, which is at the ex- treme point of thV town, and is situated much like that whicVwas at White Point at Charlestown. It nas no merlons or embrasures, but the guns\( which are thir- teen in number) are placed>upon carriages on a stone platform en barbette, some few feet above the level of the \ater. Be- tween the guns and the water isy, public walk, made by a gentle decline frVn the platform, and going round the ground upon which the Battery is placed. SoHne little distance behind the guns two ro~\ of elm trees are planted, which, in a short" time, will afford an agreeable shade.
