Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Official New York, Vol. 1 of 4: From Cleveland to Hughes New York, the twenty-sixth in size, is the foremost of the States of the Union - so ranking since 1820 - foremost in population and political significance, in wealth, manufactures, commerce, letters and the arts. She is distinctively known as the "Empire State," and her motto "Excelsior," written broad upon her shield, is her constant monition to higher achievement and ampler jurisdiction - to the continued progress of a free, enlightened and prosperous commonwealth. Her domain is magnificent. There are States with loftier summits, deeper canyons, longer seaboards and larger forests, but there is none which embraces more of picturesqueness, variety and even sublimity of scenery, than New York, as she lies between the 40th and 45th parallels of north latitude, at the heart of the temperate zone, with an extreme length of 412 miles and a minimum of from eight to ten miles on Long Island, to a maximum breadth of 311 miles from the Canadian line to the southern coast of Staten Island, with an area of 47,170 square miles.
