Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Olden Time in New York Probably no article has appeared for years in a New York literary journal which excited the attention of the community to the extent of the first of those reprinted in this volume - "New York Society in the Olden Time." It was published in Putnam´s Magazine for September, 1870. While the papers generally criticised it, and contended that the present times were best, those, on the contrary, whose associations stretched back into the past, hailed it as a faithful portraiture of life as it was in the Colony and in the generation which succeeded our separation from the Mother Country. A member of one of our oldest Colonial families writes to the author: "I did not know there existed in this modern time any one having the knowledge as well as courage to write so clear and unbiassed a review of the past." The author has yielded, therefore, to the request of friends to enlarge the article and give it a more permanent form. It is a picture of a state of things gone never to return, and perhaps for that reason is worthy of preservation. A few years longer and no one will be left who could give these reminiscences. The second article in this volume is different in its style and object, being published in a journal of a widely different character. It appeared in the July, 1871, number of the "New York Genealogical and Biographical Record." This also has been considerably enlarged by notices of other families. Perhaps, together, these two articles may save from perishing, some recollections of the Old Regime. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
