The legend of Sleepy Hollow; designed and hand colored . pleasing land ofdrowsy head it was,Of dreams that wave before the half-shut eye;And of gay castles in the clouds that pass,Forever flushing round asummer sky. — Castle of Indolence The Legend of Sleepy Hollo^v N the bosom of thosespacious coves whichindent the eastern shore ofthe Hudson, at that broad ex-pansion of the river denominatedby the ancient Dutch naviga-tors the Tappan Zee, and wherethey always prudently shorten-ed sail, and implored the pro-tection of St. Nicholas whenthey crossed, there lies a smallmarket town or rural port,which by some is calledGreensburgh, but which is moregenerally and properly known bythe name of Tarry Town.

Be that as it may, I do notvouch for the fact, but merely advert to it, forthe sake of being precise and authentic. No
