ILLUSTRATIONS

On the Harlem River—University Heights from Fort George Frontispiece
  PAGE
Grant's Tomb and Riverside Drive (from the New Jersey Shore) 3
Down along the Battery sea-wall is the place to watch the ships go by 5
Old New Amsterdam 7
Just as it has been for years. (Between South Ferry and the Bridge.)
New New York 9
Not a stone's throw farther up ... the towering white city of the new century. (Between South Ferry and the Bridge.)
From the point of view of the Jersey commuter ... some uncommon, weird effects 11
(Looking back at Manhattan from a North River ferry-boat.)
Swooping silently, confidently across from one city to the other 13
(East River and Brooklyn Bridge.)
Looking up the East River from the Foot of Fifty-ninth Street 15
Even in sky-line he could find something new almost every week or two 17
The end of the day—looking back at Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge.
For the little scenes ... quaint and lovable, one goes down along the South Street water-front 19
Smacks and oyster-floats near Fulton Market. (At the foot of Beekman Street, East River.)
This is the tired city's playground 21
Washington Bridge and the Speedway—Harlem River looking south.
Here is where the town ends, and the country begins 23
(High Bridge as seen looking south from Washington Bridge.)
The Old and the New, from Lower New York across the Bridge to Brooklyn 24
From the top of the high building at Broadway and Pine Street.
The old town does not change so fast about its edges 25
(Along the upper East River front looking north toward Blackwell's Island.)
... opposite the oval of the ancient Bowling Green 29
... immigrant hotels and homes
