In a work of this character, primarily intended for information and entertainment, it is obvious that elaborate criticisms on the subjects presented in its pages would be inappropriate. In preparing the work, we have not attempted to make it a vehicle for the expression of personal views, but as far as was consistent with the nature of the case, have confined ourselves to the historical relation of facts without assuming the function of advocate or judge. In instances which seemed to demand a verdict, we have endeavored to present illustrations of evidence rather than exhibitions of argument. We would be ungrateful if we failed in this connection to mention the kindness of our friends in preparing these pages. The introductory chapter on early theaters is from the pen of Dr. Frank T. Howe, of this city, as is also much other interesting matter. To the untiring labor of Major Alexander Hunter, the credit of the entire work practically belongs. In season and out, he labored assiduously, always willing to render all the assistance in his power. The illustrations by Mr. J. Ellsworth Clark have been secured under great difficulty. They were taken as the building progressed, and the length of time required to photo-engrave necessarily restricted him in the number selected. To Mr. E. T. McNerhany, are we also indebted for valuable assistance.
