Excerpt from New York in the Elegant Eighties
Nothing like the charm and fascination of New York in those days, exists at present. It seems like a different world. The present New Yorker knows nothing about the saner, the quieter and more dignified city of forty years ago. What happened to Rip Van Winkle upon his return to the village of Falling Waters after his sleep of twenty years would be tame in comparison with what a New Yorker of the Eighties would experience suddenly returning to the New York of Today.
