Excerpt from Collections on the History of Albany, Vol. 1: From Its Discovery to the Present Time, With Notices of Its Public Institutions, and Biographical Sketches of Citizens Deceased

The Notes from the Newspapers embrace the principal events of the years 1859 and 1860, in continuation from the last dates of the Annals of Albany. They were principally gathered from the Albany Evening Journal, and as will be seen are often inserted verbatim. I am indebted to Mr William J. Gibson for assistance in gleaning the files of that paper, the only one convenient of access.
