MAP OF CROTON AQUEDUCT
This map is accurately copied from
Mr. Schramke's scientific work, but
the reader is requested to
understand that the lines drawn at right
angles over the whole of Manhattan
Island represent what the city of
New York is intended to be. At
present its limits scarcely pass No.

STEWARDESS OF THE "LADY FRANKLIN"
This print may possibly be a little
exaggerated.
A MISSISSIPPI STEAMER
This print is raised out of all
proportion, for the purpose of giving
a better idea of the scenes on
board, than the limits of the sheet
would otherwise have permitted. If
the cabin on the deck of the Hudson
River steamer were raised upon
pillars about 15 or 20 feet high, it
would convey a tolerably accurate
impression of the proper
proportions.
