Norman's New Orleans and Environs Containing a Brief Historical Sketch of the Territory and State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans, from the Earliest Period to the Present Time
Transcriber's Notes:
The use of chapter, section, and page headers in this book was inconsistent. There are two chapters titled "Public Buildings" (starting P. 86 and P. 127). The chapters "Public Squares" (P. 181) and "Excursions" (P. 199) switched from a titled paragraph format used in the rest of the book to small cap beginnings for paragraphs (retained).
In some cases, there were changes in topics with no corresponding change in section headings. To mark these topic changes, the transcriber placed additional thought breaks, not present in the original, at the following locations: P. 137 (Hotels); P. 144 (Works, Armories, Fire Department); P. 157 (Exchanges); and P. 169 (Galleries).
The abbreviation "do" (used primarily in the index and routing tables) means "ditto."
The Table of Contents at the beginning has been added by the transcriber; it was not present in the original.
Remaining transcriber's notes are at the end of the text.

PREFACE
To the stranger visiting New Orleans, and to those abroad who may feel an interest in the metropolis of the great South-West, no apology may be urged for the present work. Curiosity, in the one case, and necessity, in the other, will prove a sufficient plea, and prepare the way for that favorable reception, which it has been the aim of the publisher it should deserve. And, judging from the interest he has taken in compiling it, he flatters himself it will be found a communicative and agreeable companion to both the above classes of readers, and to the public in general.
The tables and index have been prepared with great care, and will be found highly convenient to those who wish to consult the work with reference to any particular subject of which it treats. All such subjects are there so arranged and classified, that the reader may see, at a glance, where they are to be found.
The engravings were executed by Messrs. Shields & Hammond, after original drawings, made expressly for this work,
