Gabriel Furman's 'Notes Geographical and Historical Relating to the Town of Brooklyn on Long-Island' is an in-depth exploration of the early history and geography of Brooklyn, Long Island. Originally published in 1824, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the development of one of America's most iconic cities. Furman's careful research and engaging writing style make this book a fascinating read for historians and laypeople alike.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Excerpt from Antiquities of Long Island The notes relating to the Town of Brook lyn, by the same author, which necessarily contain some slight repetitions of material found in the Antiquities, are republished from the edition issued in 1824. The extreme scarcity of this little volume causes its reproduction here.
