Excerpt from Nelsons' Guide to the City of New York and Its Neighbourhood: Map of the Vicinity of New York The pediment in front, resting on four Ionic pillars, is eighteen feet in depth; in the centre of which may be noticed a niche, which contains a carved figure of the saint from whom the chapel derives its name; he is represented as leaning on a sword. An inscription to the memory of General Montgomery, who fell at Quebec in the war of the Revolution, is also to be seen on a slab of white marble in the front of the building. In the cemetery connected with St. Paul's are some tasteful and elegant monuments; it covers a large space of ground bounded by Broadway and Church Streets east and west, and by Fulton and Vesey Streets south and north.
