Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Broad Street, New York It sometimes seems, indeed, as if nature and man reverse the seasons. When the spring comes to the vegetable world, it is fall with men. They long to fly to the arms of Mother Earth and to sleep like tired children clasped close to her heart, careless of passing days and unmindful of the work to be done. But when the autumn has come, and leaves are wither ing and falling and all the plants of sum mer bloom have spent their energy, then new life stirs in the blood of man, there comes an elasticity in the step, a higherholding of the head and a zest for work. That is the time when one must come back to the city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cab No. 44 Arrived in Brooklyn, and having been put down at a dingy corner on the way up Fulton Street, with the direction to walk straight up the hill, the young man made his way through a street of curious old-fashioned houses, with somber brown-stone fronts and odd-looking wooden steps and handrails, which had been placed upon the stone steps, ready for the Winter's coming snow storms. One of these was evidently the house for which he was looking, and after a careful scrutiny of the numbers, many of which were painted in white letters upon the faces of the brown-stone steps, he ran nimbly up to the door of a comfortable, roomy-looking mansion and rang the bell.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out of Mulberry Street: Stories of Tenement Life in New York City Since I wrote How the Other Half Lives I have been asked many times upon what basis of experience, of fact, I built that ac count of life in New York tenements. These stories contain the answer. They are from the daily grist of the police hopper in Mul berry street, at which I have been grinding for twenty years. They are reprinted from the columns of my newspaper, and from the magazines as a contribution to the discussion of the lives and homes of the poor, which in recent years has done much to better their lot, and is yet to do much more when we have all come to understand each (fiher. In this discussion only facts are of value, and these stories are true. In the few instances in which I have taken the ordering of events into my own hands, it is chiefly their se quence with which I have interfered. The facts themselves remain as I found them. J. A. R.

In the great Waldorf Hotel, where the lamps burn at midday as at midnight, he was unconsciously conspicuous as slowly he strode down the corridor known as Millionaire Lane, where, in the evening, were gathered the wealthier members of the Stock Exchange, speculation polite in full dress, with many a bow and sallow smile, but just as heartless and as replete with human greed as when on the "floor" in Wall Street, beneath the cold eye of the gray-bearded old chairman sitting high in his marble balcony.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New-York Cries in Rhyme New-york is built on the south end of the Island of Manhattan, now called new-york Island. The noble River Hudson, or North River, flows along its north west side, while the East River, which unites with the majestic Long Island Sound, waters the south-east border. It is thought that no place in the world, embraces so many natural advantages for commerce and trade, as the port of new-york. None, perhaps, is in a more flourishing condition, than it is at this time. A great many buildings have been recently erected, and we may behold whole squares and magnificent structures going up in various parts of the city. Vessels from almost every commercial country, may be seen in its port; and the steamboats, m the summer are numerous, and ply in every direction. By great labor and expense, the numerous hills in that part of the Island on which the city is building, have been leveled, and valleys and swamps have been filled up. Only a few years ago, there was a lake of fresh water, called the Collect, in the middle of the city, which is now firm land; and spacious streets and stately buildings, now occupy a place where the boys of new-york formerly spent many hours in skating!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Confident to-Morrow: A Novel of New York When at last the train stood still, and the impatient passengers poured forth and pressed forward as though a prize had been offered to the one who should first reach the ferry-boat, Frank Sartain found himself hastening ahead as eagerly as any of the others. He was glad of a chance to stretch his legs again, for he was weary with the two nights spent on the cars, and with the long intervening day. He felt draggled and dirty from his journey; and as the procession of passengers came out into the open air, he drew a long breath, as though to cleanse his lungs. A breeze blew in from the river, damp but not chill, considering the time of the year. Sartain wondered if it were always as mild as this in New York in the middle of October. He had not been East for several years; and even at best his acquaintance with the great city was confined to two or three chance visits when the college glee club had come down to give its annual concert. And now he was entering New York to stay; it was in New York hereafter that he was to wage the battle of life, and to fight his way to the front.

Have you made a choice, Miss Sophia?" inclining his head toward the young lady who sat in the farther comer of the carriage. "I am between the two horns of a dilemma, your Excellency," Miss Boylston answered, laughingly. "My sympathies run with the Virginian; but I confess my judgment leans toward the English horse. So you see I am at contraries whether to risk my judgment or my sentiments, for I should be vastly sorry to find either amiss." "Then back your sentiments," the Governor urged in good humour, "for 'tis a common experience that a young lady's most trustworthy guide is her heart."

Y. Evening Post says of "Miriam Monfort" "Mrs. Warfield's new novel has freshness, and is so far removed from mediocrity as to entitle it to respectful comment. Her fiction calls for study. Her perception is deep and atic, as respects both the dramatic side of life and the beautiful. It is not strictly nature, in the general sense, that forms the basis of her descriptions. She finds something deeper and more mystic than nature in the sense in which the term is usually used by critics, in the answer of the soul to life - in the strange, weird, and lonesome music (though now and then broken by discords) of the still small voices with which human nature replies to the questions that sorely vex her. She has the analytic capacity in the field of psychology, which enables her to trace phenomena in a story without arguing about them, and to exhibit the dramatic side of them without stopping to explain the reasons for it. In a word, her hand is as sure as that of a master, and if there were more such novels as this simple semi-biographical story of Miriam Monfort, it would not be necessary so often to put the question, 'Is the art of fiction extinct?'" The Cincinnati Daily Gazette says: "'Miriam Monfort, ' which now lies before us, is less sensational in incident than its predecessor, though it does not lack stirring events - an experience on a burning ship, for example. Its interest lies in the intensity which marks all the characters good and bad. The plot turns on the treachery of a pretended lover, and the author seems to have experienced every emotion of love and hate, jealousy and fear, that has inspired the creations of her pen. There is a contagion in her earnestness, and we doubt not that numerous readers will follow the fortunes of the beautiful but much-persecuted Miriam with breathless interest." The All Bay City Item says: "It is a work of extraordinary merit. The story is charmingly told by the heroine. It is admirable and original in plot, varied in incident, and intensely absorbing in interest; besides, throughout the volume, there is an exquisite combination of sensibility, pride, and loveliness, which will hold the work in high estimation. We make a quotation from the book that suits the critic exactly. 'It is splendid; it is a dream, more vivid than life itself; it is like drinking champagne, smelling tuberoses, inhaling laughing-gas, going to the opera, all at one time.' We recommend this to our young lady friends as a most thoughtfully and delightfully written novel." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
