Book excerpt: Excerpt from Picture of Philadelphia: Or a Brief Account of the Various Institutions and Public Objects in This Metropolis; Being a Complete Guide for Strangers; With an Addenda of All Improvements to the Present Time This little volume is intended rather as a strangers guide, than a statistical picture of Philadelphia. As such, the publishers flatter themselves it will be found useful; and, at the same time, the citizen, possessed of an extensive knowledge of our various institutions, may, by reference to the following pages, discover much that has escaped his notice. Doubtless, inaccuracies inseparable from a work of this description will be discovered: they are, however, believed to be few and of minor importance; as no trouble was spared to procure the most correct information in relation to every subject herein noticed. The list of streets, lanes, alleys and courts is believed to be the most complete catalogue of the kind in existence, having been made with uncommon care, from an actual examination of every part of the city, districts, and suburbs, by a person employed especially for the purpose. The plan of the City annexed is entirely new, and was also constructed from a careful personal inspection of the region embraced in it.
