Hook, and affords two raoft agreeable (itudtions for Gcntlemcns'
Seats. There are now on it, two brick houses, with gardens, and
a good colle&ion of fruit trees of the best kinds. The land is'very
fertile, and a great part of it very good meadow ; and from its fili
ation on the river, has the advantage of fifh of different kinds, in
their seasons, particularly of oysters and chicken clams, which tnav
he pickcd in great plenty on the flits before the doors. It is a
delightful, healthy situation, capable of genteel and tasty improve
ments ; and as Perth-Amboy is one of the best sea-ports in the
United Slates, and within 18 miles of the sea, the prospect of its
increasing in value from that circumstance, is by no means lucon
fiderable.
1 heie wil' also be (old, other Lots, within the bounds of the
city, and about Five Hundred Acres of Land on the opposite fide
of the river Raritan—part of which is unmoved bv a farm—on

fifty acres ; the remainder will be fold in convenient lots, well

Bay, and of t lie Bay foi med by the waters of Raritan and Hud
son's rivers, where they disembogue into the sea to the £afl—and
a mod delightful one of the feipeutine courle of the Raritan river,
for several miles, through a rich tra£fc of meadow to the Weft.
The great quantity of {lone neatly drefled, and brick, the remains
of the house lately burned, will be nearly fufficient for a new
building; and a large stone cistern, and well of excellent watrr,
with a very convenient ftableand coach-hpufe, will greatly lelTen
the expence of putting the place in order for the residence of a
Gentleman.— There are tew situation;, so eligible, particularly in
the summer feafoti—when the cool sea breezes, 2nd the elevated
(ituatioris, render them places of pleasing retreat, from the confine
ment and sultry air of the louthern dates and neighbouring ci'ies.
