What reading level is Seal And Flag of the City of New York book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Van Cortlandt was one of the leading citizens and a Burgomaster of New Amsterdam at the time of the surrender to the English, was one of the six Commissioners who met the English deputies and arranged the terms of capitulation, and took a leading part in the affairs of the renamed city of New York in which he was living in 1686, one is tempted to think that the idea of the windmill as an heraldic device in the The Windmill 41 city seal may have been suggested by the Van Cortlandt arms. Windm...ills naturally remind one of Holland, where they are used in such numbers to pump water from the lower ditches to the higher, and for milling purposes, 1 but it does not neces- sarily follow that the windmill in the city coat-of- arms is a Dutch windmill. Windmills were and still are used in England; and they were used in New Amsterdam and New York. The first mill erected in New Amsterdam in 1626 was a horse- mill, built by Francois Molemaecker, over which was a spacious room for religious worship 2 ; but the principal sources of mechanical power on the Island of Manhattan before the era of steam were wind and water.
