DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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 EBOOKExcerpt 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.
