From the memorandum of receipts and disbursements, which in proper place appears herewith, it will be seen that the expense of this publication has been more than the sum which so remained, the balance being made up by the committee. It is only regretted that they were unable to further elaborate and embellish the work.

With this simple statement this souvenir is issued in the hope that it may be of interest to all who shall receive it, and that the appreciation which it may elicit will be a sufficient justification for its publication. Monument Committee.

1 he Revolutionary Soldiers' Monument.

i movement which culminated in the dedication of a monument at this place to the soldiers of the Revolution, had its inception in the desire to honor the memory of the sturdy patriots who by their courage and valor well sustained the cause of liberty and independence on these historic fields, -- not only those who were buried in the old Dutch churchyard, but in a larger, broader sense to honor all those brave men who stood for the patriot cause on this then.-Philipse Manor, which comprised the present townships of Greenburgh, Mount Pleasant, Ossining, and the City of Yonkers, containing eighty square miles of territory, fronting over twenty miles on the Hudson and extending eastwardly to the Bronx. It was entitled one of the military districts of Westchester County, and in it a regiment of militia was organized, with headquarters in the vicinity of Tarrytown, which was then the place of greatest interest on the Manor, the old Dutch Church being here located, and consequently a large number of the soldiers of the Revolution here found their last resting place.
