Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diary of Philip Hone, Vol. 2 of 2: 1828-1851 January 1. - Another year has passed, and it would be well if the black lines of Benton, the great expunger, could be drawn around 1839 the calendar. It has been marked by individual and national distress in an unprecedented degree, the effect of improvidence and a want of sound moral and political principles on the part of the mass of the people, and bad government and a crushing down of everything good and great to subserve party objects on the part of the rulers. The New Year comes in bright and clear. It is by far the coldest day this winter; the ground is partially covered with snow; the ice which covers the walks in some places is hard as adamant, and the north-west wind blows up the cross-streets keen and sharp, as if it had been whetted upon the everlasting ice of the north pole. Notwithstanding all this, the gayety of the season has not been diminished. There has been as much visiting as usual. Broadway was lively as ever, bright eyes and warm receptions indoors, and blue noses and cold fingers without.
