Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Children´s City This little book, each chapter telling of one of the walks, or jaunts, in or about the city, of two children and an older companion, is intended to help young people, their governesses, tutors, or mentors to an enjoyment and appreciation of the pleasures of New York that are free to all. And it may serve too, as a guide for adults who would become acquainted at first hand with what is most interesting and most easily accessible in our American metropolis. In it attention is always directed to what especially appeals to young eyes, and the information offered is of the kind for which youthful minds and imaginations have naturally a keen appetite. Opening with a brief, sketchy account of Dutch, English, and Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary New York, the chapters that follow are given to excursions by land and water in which the historical landmarks and natural beauties of the city are the theme - trips down the bay, or to parks and pleasure-grounds; to excursions to the museums; to visits to the Zoological Park, the Botanical Garden, the Aquarium, etc., etc. Many generations of children have taken their way "unwillingly to school" and gained knowledge in dull drudgery, hearing their elders unsympathetically repeat: "There is no royal road to learning."
