About This Item
New York: Edmund Jones, 1861. This an awesome book detailing many stats and information about the city in the 1860. Example: There was an epidemic of scarlet fever in the summer, there were over 104,000 immigrants from foreign ports.They compare New York to paris and london. Tbe book speaks of the high mortality rates in england at that time. It also refers to the lack of registration of births and deaths of the people of ireland so that accurate pictures of the movement of the Irish cannot be given. There are comments about street cleaning, the disgrace of the city markets, sewers, removal of dead animals, etc. An altogether fascinating book on thre city in 1860 - but especially so for its comments vs England. Book has many statistical tables but also 61 pages of introductory commentary at the begiinning along with commentary attached to the statistical info. 263 pages - book is in very good condition, some foxing. Protective cover.. 1st Edition. Brown Decorative Cloth. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
