Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Olde New York: Sketches of Old Times and Places in Both the State and the City His book is dedicated to the citizens of New York who love her history and traditions. Many of its stories were written twenty years ago and are repeated now with very little change simply because they described types and conditions (espe cially in the great city) that no longer exist. The generation that read them in 1885 in the Evening Post or Lippincott's Magazine will re-peruse them as one reads the faces of old friends long forgotten. To the generation which has come on the stage since they were Written they will have the novelty and in terest of original tales.

Download or read book The Mysteries of New York written by Alfred Trumble and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mysteries of New York: A Sequel to "Glimpses of Gotham," and "New York by Day and Night" It is because they are, after all, but romances, and the popular taste for fiction changes, shouldering the best of old favorites into the corner in favor of far less meritorious novelties whose charm of new ness atones for their shortcomings. The scenes these supplanted vet erans describe belong to the past. The present generation recognizes no resemblance between them and the life that goes on about it. They lack fact enough to become history, and their romance is faded, dim and dull to a people which has outgrown the surroundings in which that romance was placed. But with our Mysteries of New York it is a vastly different ease. The scenes we depict are being enacted about us every day, for we write of the great metropolis of the present, of the third greatest city in the world as it is in the year of grace 1881. It is the real life of this tremendous gathering of men, this treasure-house of wealth and asylum of poverty, this abode of Virtue and haunt of crime, which we portray with pen and pencil. It is its ins and outs, bright scenes and sombre mysteries which artist and author combine to give an endur ing place in literature. No romance here but that of fact, which has truly been said to be more startling than any fiction which fascinates as no production of the novelist's fancy can, because we know it to be true, and which we remember long after the creations of genius, the fanciful children of the most brilliant inventions, are forgotten.

Download or read book Old New York Yesterday and Today Classic Reprint written by Henry Collins Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 78 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charcoals of New and Old New York: Pictures and d104 All along the Spine and flanks of this Reptile of Gneiss tormenting men dig and bore and blast: driving tunnels through its Vitals; scoop ing holes for sub-cellars five floors under ground; running water pipes and gas mains; puncturing its skin with hypodermics of steam; weight ing it with skyscrapers, the dismal streets below dark as sunless ravines; plastering its sides with grass bordered by asphalt into which scraggly shrubs are stuck - and as a crowning indignity criss-crossing its backbone with centipedes of steel, highways for endless puffing trains belching heat and gas. This has been going on in constantly increasing malevolence since the Dutch landed, and will continue to go on until three or four, or per haps six, brand-new cities, each one exactly above the other, are piled on top of the poor beast. What will happen then, especially if it loses all patience and some fine morning gives an angry shiver, as would an old horse shaking, off flies, a lucky survivor near the Golden Gate may know, but no one questions that it would be unpleasant for the flies.
