Page 166. A glance at the map in Mem. Hist. of

City of N. Y., III, 130, will show that our author meant "plus à l'est." The building to which he refers was the jail, later the Hall of Registry.

33. Page 169. Fly Market was located at the foot of Maiden Lane. I hâve been unable to find an explanation of the origin of the name. According to the Century Dictionary, fly is sometimes used erroneously for vly, vley or vlei "in local use in New York and New Jersey and in South America, in régions first settled by the Dutch . . . probably a local contraction, in a slighted defected use of Dutch valey, now valhi." The meaning of fly or vly is swamp or morass. The market therefore might hâve taken its name from its location on the East Side. But this is ail conjecture.

Our author evidently intended to give more definite data on the subject, but left it in this unsatisfactory and fragmentary state.

35. Page 192. François-Alexandre-Frédéric La Rochefoucauld, duc de Liancourt (1747-1827), after vainly trying to reconcile the old System of government to the new ideas, fled to England after the fatal lOth of August. Thence he passed to Philadelphia as indicated in the diary. He joined the émigrés there and was often associated with Moreau, as the reader may

note. Some fîve months after his arrivai he began his travels, of which he has left a record in his celebrated work, Voyage dans les États-Unis d'Amérique.
