Description:Excerpt from An Iron A Tale of the Great RepublicFifth Avenue, in the city of New York, though a street of world-wide celebrity, is not wholly pleasing to the eye of a visitor. One soon tires of the sameness exhibited in block after block of imposing brown stone edifices, many of which well deserve the name of palace in the splendor of their costly appointments. Most of the houses in the street are so much alike with their stately stone fronts three and four stories high, plate-glass windows, and massive stone steps leading from a stone sidewalk which ends a stone-like pave ment, that the description of one would serve for two-thirds of the houses in the Avenue.On a hot day in summer when this abode of magnificence is well-nigh deserted by its fashionable inhabitants, it is a dreary enough place. The country visitor who has come from far to View the wonders of the great metropolis concerning which he has read and marveled from his earliest recollection, is liable at such a time to think this a very stony sort of gran deur. The air is parched and oppressive. Above is a tr0p ical sun, on either side inhospitable Splendor. The closed doors and drawn blinds of these Silent abodes of wealth have for the eye of the stranger no more welcome than is found at the door of a deserted cabin in the wilderness. He longs to escape from this sweltering, artificial Sahara. For him Fifth Avenue is a gross delusion and a cheat so far as concerns those pure delights which he imagined were everywhere apparent in that favored locality.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
