4.9/5 (19392 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Literary History of Philadelphia The old lady of Boston of classical memory, who going a little way afield to be asked by a benighted person what kind of a place Boston was, replied, Bless you! Boston is not a place; it is a sentiment, might just as well have been nurtured in the proud lap of Philadelphia. There are Brahmins in the Quaker City. Indeed, it is doubtful if there is another place in which sentiment is a stronger force; a place which its people leave with so many pangs and yearn for so deeply while absent, until they can find a way to return to its streets and homes, and its sedate and wholesome pleasures. Af icted though it be with unclean streets, paved with round stones, now happily a provincialism of the past; Vile water and politics; a climate hot and cold, wet and dry, by sudden turns of natural fate, its history and its present state are beloved by its citizens. No community in America has the same compelling power over its inhabitants. Nowhere else does pride of race, family, house, demesne, vocation and religion unto the earliest generations call up such recollec tions, furnish material for so much social converse, or so deeply in uence each daily thought and action as in Pennsylvania's great city and the ourishing counties and towns that stretch away on every side.
