About This Book

The author offers a personal, anecdotal portrait of Philadelphia that mixes childhood memories with later observations, guided by one hundred and five lithographs. Chapters move from early life and schooling through social rituals, religious and civic institutions, and the city's literary and artistic scenes, to chapters on dining and urban change. The narrative interweaves architectural and neighborhood descriptions, portraits of public buildings and parks, and reflections on work, manners, and the ways the city has transformed over a quarter century, combining memoir, topography, and cultural commentary.

Obvious punctuation errors repaired.

Index page references that erroneously lead to pages without text (blank or illustration only) were removed.

Most of the illustrations have been moved from their original positions to avoid paragraphs being truncated in this text. The List of Illustrations cites their original page numbers, however the hyperlinks will take the reader to the new position.

Some advertisements for other books published by J. B. Lippincot were moved from page ii to the end of the text.

The remaining corrections made are indicated by dotted lines under the corrections. Scroll the mouse over the word and the Transcriber's Note will appear.
