Excerpt from The Romance of Old Philadelphia Special mention should be made of the delightful books by Mr. Henry W. Shoemaker, who has written so appreciatively of his native central Pennsylvania highlands. Quotations have been made from these in many instances; again they have furnished inspi ration for paragraphs that may perhaps give more than a surface hint of the original source. This is true also of some of the local histories consulted. Whenever it has been possible to tell of indebtedness, this has been done.

Excerpt from The Lincoln Highway in Pennsylvania Square: Old Philadelphia-Pittsburgh Pike Within convenient distance of the start of this trip across Pennsylvania are several of the most historic buildings in the United States, a priceless inheritance from the colonial and revolutionary periods. They are grouped fairly close together in the old residence and business center, on or about Chestnut, Market and Arch streets, within a few squares of the Delaware river. Well-built, most fortunately preserved, and guarded with care, their substantial and dignified architecture is in complete harmony with the associations and traditions which cluster around them.

Excerpt from That Affair in Philadelphia Was I? I should think so. The Family Circle was ablaze, one glance almost blinded a man. There was something more to come. No one could think it. History was made quick and lively that night. Didn't the Mayor appear in the Royal Row, you see no one was expecting him, not there just then, and it made every one stare. But, dear me, when they saw a train of clerks close on his heels carrying a lot of big musty old books, they stared all the harder.

Excerpt from North of Market Street: Being the Adventures of a New York Woman in Philadelphia The reason we went to Philadelphia was because Helen wished to matriculate at the Woman's Medical College. She had her own reasons for preferring to be made a Doctor there, and I was thankful she did not go farther afield; for there is one good thing about Philadelphia, it is only two hours from New York, at the worst. We are sisters. We are twins. We are old young women, - that is, we were, for I am writing of several years ago.
