Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journal of the Statistical Society of London, Vol. 2 The Society having been presented with numerous Statistical documents relative to the City of New York, through the kindness of H. G. Dunnel, Esq., the City Inspector, I have collected from them the following summary of facts illustrative of its commercial and social condition. At the present period, when the intercourse between this country and the United States is receiving a new stimulus from the establishment of Transatlantic steam navigation, it becomes doubly interesting to obtain an accurate knowledge of their internal economy, as well as of our mutual relations; and as the port of Bristol more particularly may claim the honour of having taken the lead in this memorable application of steam power, and must in future (if awake to her own interests) be intimately connected with the great emporium of the Western World, it is the more incumbent on us to cultivate, not only the feelings of neighbours, but such an acquaintance with American institutions and resources as may qualify us for an intelligent appreciation of their real character and influence. It is with the hope of contributing to this important end, by the evidence of facts, that I lay before the Society the following Paper, which will be found to comprise the fullest and most recent account of the Statistics of the city of New York, which the documents in possession of the Society will authenticate. It has not been thought necessary to refer to these in detail, a list of them being appended to the Society´s Report for the last year. For the sake of more easy comparison, I have reduced the gross numbers in most instances to a per centage proportion; and, in calculating the monetary tables, I have taken the value of the dollar at 4s. 6d. sterling. I. - History, Situation, and Government. From various authorities it appears that the Hudson River, and the island on which New York is situated, were discovered in the year 1609.
