Download or read book How the Other Half Lives written by Jacob A. Riis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How the Other Half Lives: Studies Among the Tenements of New York The belief that every man's experience ought to be worth something to the community from which he drew it, no matter what that experience may be, so long as it was gleaned along the line of some decent, honest work, made me begin this book. With the result before him, the reader can judge for himself now whether or not I was right. Right or wrong, the many and exacting duties of a newspaper man's life would hardly have allowed me to bring it to an end but for frequent friendly lifts given me by willing hands. To the President of the Board of Health, Mr. Charles G. Wilson, and to Chief Inspector Byrnes of the Police Force I am indebted for much kind ness. The patient friendship of Dr. Roger s.'tracy, the Registrar of Vital Statistics, has done for me what I never could have done for myself; for I know nothing of tables, statistics and percentages, while there is nothing about them that he does not know. Most of all I owe in this, as in all things else, to the womanly sympathy and the loving companionship of my dear wife, ever my chief helper, my wisest counsellor, and my gentlest critic.

Download or read book Violet the Child of the City written by Robert F. Greeley and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Violet, the Child of the City: A Story of New York Life A Report of one of the numerous charitable associations which have lately sprung into existence informs us (we quote the language of the Editor of the Times, in which the article in question appeared), "That there are 10,000 vagrant children in this city; that in eleven Wards over 3,000 children, of whom 2,000 are girls, between eight and sixteen years old, are regularly trained to theft; that out of 16,000 criminals arrested during the year, one fourth were under 21, and 800 under 15 years of age. These children," says Mr. Raymond, "are thus engaged because they have no other way to earn a living, and nobody to teach them better. "The object of this Society (The Children's Aid Society) is" (we are still quoting the Times) "to see whether these children cannot be brought under better influences. It looks them up in the first place - gives them food, and sets them to work. One most admirable means of providing for them has been to find places for them with farmers, mechanics, and manufacturers in the country; and the report states that applications for these boys and girls, from various sections of the country, come in faster than they can be supplied. This is a most hopeful fact. All that is needed is money to send them to the places where they are wanted. Over 200 have been thus sent off. "Another mode resorted to is to provide workshops for them in the City, where they can be taught to do coarse work for manufacturers - receiving pay regularly, and at the same time learning how to earn an honest living. During the last year 115 boys have been thus employed in a shop for pegging shoes. The receipts of the shop have been $671, and the expenses $865; so that the net cost of this great charity has been but $194. Several schools have been established, where this class of children, who cannot attend the Ward Schools, are taught not only the elements of useful knowledge, but the elements of useful labor."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dark Side of New York Life and Its Criminal Classes From Fifth Avenue Down to the Five Points: A Complete Narrative of the Mysteries of New York Thus this book will prove a book of the highest interest, and a perfect picture of the Night Side of New York life, not only to those who live in the city, but, since New York is the Metropolis of the country, to all the inhabitants of the United States; and not interesting only, for since it is at the same time instructive, it must also be useful. Only a few even of those who live in New York know the dangers which daily and hourly surround them and theirs. How many are there who, living at a distance, come here on business, and who have not already been the victims of crime of every kind, because they knew not the traps that were set for them! And how many in distant states who have never set foot in New York/and never intend coming hither, have not been already robbed of their money and their pro perty by the hundreds of swindlers, who, residing here, cast out their nets hence over the whole country.

Download or read book The Papers of Henry Clay written by Henry Clay and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This supplement to The Papers of Henry Clay contains documents discovered too late to be included in the proper chronological sequence in earlier volumes. Spanning the years from 1793 to 1852, the items shed important light on Clay's early years in Kentucky, his legal career, and his work for the Bank of the United States. Material dealing with the "Corrupt Bargain" charge is particularly rich, and many of the letters that appear in this volume fill gaps in exchanges already published. Clay's correspondence with Benjamin Watkins Lee of Virginia and Mary Bayard, wife of Delaware senator Richard Henry Bayard, is especially interesting.An essay on Clay portraits by Clifford Amyx, professor emeritus of art at the University of Kentucky, provides a detailed discussion of the paintings, statues, busts, engravings, and daguerreotypes that featured Clay as the subject. Appended to the essay is a calendar listing each major work, the artist, date of completion, and present location. A comprehensive bibliography of works cited in the entire series will benefit researchers seeking information in addition to that provided in the annotations. This supplement is an essential addition to the earlier volumes in the series.
