Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Destiny of the American City A portion of this manuscript was written several years ago, during a period of inflamed public opinion and social unrest, fraught with many misgivings and uncertainties. The period in question, was one most prolific in various and numerous remedies offered for the purpose of stimulating the building industry, each one a guaranteed specific for every economic ill. The object in offering it, at this time, is more for the purpose of giving some idea of the psychology of a period, filled with many economic problems, that had to be solved under conditions, new, varied and untried. The position taken at that time was far from being the most popular one, for the reason it offered very little encouragement for the builder to build, until some of the abuses with which the building industry was surrounded, were corrected.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peculiarities of American Cities A residence in more than a hundred cities, including nearly all that are introduced in this work, leads me to feel that I shall succeed in my purpose of giving to the public a book, without the necessity of marching in slow and solemn procession before my readers a monumental array of time-honored statistics; on the contrary, it will be my aim, in the following pages, to talk of cities as I have seen and found them in my walks, from day to day, with but slight reference to their origin and past history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Emancipation of the American City Since James Bryce recorded it as his opinion a generation ago, that the government Of cit ies is the one conspicuous failure of the United States, a veritable revolution has been under way in American municipal government. It is not yet completed, but it has been so wide spread in its influence and results as to make it clear that what was unhappily true when Mr. Bryce wrote, cannot in truth be said today.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Metropolis, From Knickerbocker Days to the Present Time, Vol. 1 of 3: New York City Life in All Its Various Phases But not only will the objects proposed by the present volumes commend themselves to every intel ligent friend of the City, but the scheme of recital which the Author has adopted is itself a marked feature of the work. It will arrest the attention of his adult readers, and will be particularly grate ful to the tastes and instincts of the young peo ple, and.it is upon them, primarily, that we have to base our hopes for the future. Youths are not fond of disquisitions, but they like to be shown things, which is exactly what Mr. Moss does in these pages. An event taken apart from its local connections is almost as uninteresting a thing as a soul would be with no body for it to be at home in. The author of The American Metropolis not only describes What has occurred in the history of our City, but knits those events to the particular spot where they have transpired, thus clothing them with the garments of reality and putting them into local relation with the streets that we are to-day walking. His idea is a clever one, and can hardly fail of catching the attention and holding the in terest of the reading public, younger and older.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the City of New York, Vol. 1 The earliest record of the existence of the American Continent is found among the literary legacies of the Icelanders of the tenth century, who were superior to the continental people of that age both in mental vigor and physical endurance. But their discoveries were the result of hap hazard adventure rather than scientific probabilities, and their efforts at colonization were signal failures. From their geographical works we find that they supposed these western lands to be a part of Europe; and, while the accounts of their expeditions were carefully preserved, not a line was committed to parchment until many centuries had passed, so that there is very little reason for presuming that succeeding generations were materially benefited by reason of them.
