Excerpt from The New Pocket Guide and Street Directory of Philadelphia: With Descriptive Sketches and Illustrations of Fairmount Park, Centennial Buildings, and Other Places and Objects of Interest, and a Large Map of the City Philadelphia was planned and settled by William Penn, accompanied by a colony of English Friends or Quakers, in 1682, after a regular pur chase from the Indians ratified by a treaty in due form. The name of Phila delphia (brotherly Love) was given by William Penn, in part as an embodiment of the principles he intended to carry out in its settlement, and which are a part of the Creed of the Society of Friends, and partly after the ancient city of that name, whose church is spoken of in the book of Revelation. The city rapidly increased, and in three years after the first settlement was made, the population was 2500. In 1771 it was incorporated as a city.

Excerpt from Rand, McNally Co; 'S Handy Guide to Philadelphia and Environs: Including Atlantic City and Cape May; With Maps and Illustrations Four great railroads have direct entrance into Philadelphia - the Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Reading, the Baltimore Ohio, and the Lehigh Valley - which has through car service by the Read ing. The three first named have terminals which for magnificence and comfort are unsurpassed in any other city in the country. All are Within the heart of the city, and two are but three or four min utes' walk from most of the chief hotels and many of the greatest business houses. The Pennsylvania Railroad Depot, at Broad and Market streets, is a splendid example Of modern Gothic architecture. Directly opposite the new City Hall, its eleven stories of granite and brick, with terra cotta trimmings, add materially to the beauty of Phila delphia's chief public building. The main building Of the depot has a frontage Of 306 feet on Broad Street, and Of 212 on Market. Beneath it runs Fifteenth Street, and on the north side, Filbert. Trains enter and depart from this station over an elevated viaduct of solid brick arches, reaching nearly five squares west to the steel bridge over the Schuylkill. They run into the largest railroad train shed in the world, not excepting anything of like construction in this country, or the St. Pancras, or other huge terminals, in London. It covers an area 707 feet long, 307 feet wide, and is 140 feet in height; the main arches have a clear span of 294 feet at track level, and a clear height of 141 feet. The entire structure, with its 000 pounds Of iron, presents the appearance of a gigantic sun parlor, for its extensive roof is largely composed of translucent glass in iron frames. The glass in the roof alone would cover an area Of one and three-quarters acres. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
