"My purpose in this book has been to draw the Great Metropolis with its lights and shades, in a series of graphic papers: to sketch New York as I have seen it. From original and reliable sources I have drawn my information and material for these sketches. I have selected representative men, and have attempted fairly to present their characteristics, and usually as their friends would wish to see them. Of things and places, I have drawn from my own knowledge or observation. M.H.S."
