Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pingleton; Or Queer People I Have Met, Vol. 1: From the Notes of a New York City Cicerone A year went by, and he had almost passed from our mind, (since he did not again call on us,) when one day one of the members of our firm happened to stumble over the notebook, and our visitor and his words were recalled. Having some leisure, and feeling inquisitive, our partner dusted the neglected book, and opening it, began to read. And what a mass of information he discovered! Articles on "New York in the Past;" "Objects of Interest in New York, and How to View Them;" "A Romance of Bowling Green "The World as Seen from Trinity Church Steeple;" "New York at Night;" "Meditations in St. Paul´s Churchyard;" interspersed with notes of scandals, riots, crimes, great meetings, parades, and receptions, accompanied by his personal criticisms. The last part of the book, however, interested our partner more than anything else. It was devoted to peculiar people with whom the cicerone had come in contact, and here he had recorded all their weaknesses, foibles, eccentricities, and odd remarks, and, to do him justice, also all their good points. So absorbed became´ the reader, that it was far into the night before he left the office, and so strongly was he impressed by the notes that the next morning he made the proposition that he would take upon himself the labor of editing, if the firm would agree to publish, them.
