Additional Details

The introduction paints New York as an American Mecca: "This Metropolis of America . . . is naturally a place to which the attention of strangers is strongly directed. A visit to New York is among the things which nearly every person in the country tries to accomplish at least once in a lifetime. . . . From this great centre radiates new fashions and follies, daily, to the extremities of the Union."
