Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life in New York
But still another object may be reached by the publication of these sketches: the young in the country may learn the dangers that lurk in the city, and keep away from their reach. Life in the city has a charm that fascinates the distant, and many Who have peaceful and happy homes in the se cluded vales of the country, are often tempted to seek fortune or pleasure here. They make a sad exchange. Peace is there, and plenty and purity: here is labour, temp tation, and often bitter disappointments and trials, such as are not to be felt in the quiet walks they have forsaken.
