About this Item

Print on Demand. This book delves into the history, culture, and institutions of Cincinnati, Ohio, a rapidly growing city in the 19th century referred to by the author as "the almost unexampled rapidity" in which it "ad vinced to the rank and opulence of a city." Cincinnati holds public parks, the Western Museum, several theaters, a public library, literary and scientific institutions, a commercial hospital, a college, two orphan asylums, and numerous churches, reflecting the author's view that "so few places, if any, of the Western country, can boast so many benevolent, literary, scientific, and religious institutions." The book further analyzes this growth in the context of the urban development of the United States as a whole in the 19th century, providing key insights into the historical and social forces that helped shape many American cities during this period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
