Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "The Secrets of the Great City" is a book written by James Dabney McCabe, an American author and lecturer, which was first published in 1868. This work explores the social, cultural, and economic aspects of life in American cities during the 19th century. The book delves into the various facets of city living, covering topics such as politics, crime, poverty, education, and the overall conditions of urban life. James Dabney McCabe provides readers with a detailed and often critical examination of the challenges faced by city residents, shedding light on both the positive and negative aspects of urbanization. The narrative is likely to address issues such as industrialization, immigration, and the disparities between different social classes within the city. "The Secrets of the Great City" reflects the broader societal changes occurring in the United States during the 19th century as the country transitioned from a predominantly agrarian society to an increasingly urbanized and industrialized one. McCabe's observations and insights provide historical context for understanding the complexities and dynamics of American cities during this transformative period. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Faded burgundy cloth. Frayed at spine ends, exposed corners, small holes appear along outer hinges. Lightly shaken. Some foxing to pages, else interior generally clean. Engraved (with tissue guard) and typographic title pages. 27 illustrations on plates, including five fold-outs. 552 plus [4] ads. A fascinating work describing life in New York City, from the great capitalists to the lowest street urchin.
