Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old New York, Yesterday and Today The year of the Peace with Great Britain (178 3) found our city in a deplorable condition. Two great fires had practically wiped out its principal buildings; their melancholy ruins still stood, gaunt and depressing. The population had dwindled to a beggarly ten thousand. Grass grew on her streets and her wharves, to which no ships had come in years, had fallen to decay. The ma chinery for local government had ceased to function and everywhere discouragement and dej cc tion reigned supreme. But with the appearance of Washington and his famous generals at the head of their victorious troops, marching down Broadway, a great change came over the spirit of New York. She was instantly imbued with new life. Her streets were once more thronged and she became for the moment the capital of the New Empire. Had New York so remained, it is safe to say that no Capital City 1n the world could have rivalled the beauty and impressiveness with which she would have constructed the Federal Seat of Government. A glance at the picture of lower Broadway shown elsewhere in these pages, distant but a few steps from the sparkling sheltered waters of the broad Atlantic, gives some idea of the possibilities that are apparent.
