Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Washington, the National Capital IN writing the Story of Washington, the author has had in mind both the local and general reader; for the national capital belongs not alone to its citizens, but also to the nation. On the one hand it was desirable not to burden the narrative with details of merely local interest; on the other, not to treat the subject in so general a way as to as sociate with it no local avor whatever. He has also endeavored to write in a simple and direct style that would attract youthful readers, and that would not displease those of mature years. It is common com plaint that our young people read foreign books especially English books - so exclusively, that we are in danger of becoming a race of Anglomaniacs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Washington: Or Six Years at the National Capital I have not attempted to write a history of Wash ington in the following pages, nor to closely follow the march of events. My attention has been more particularly directed toward places and subjects of general interest, and likely to prove entertaining to those who, by reason of residing at a great distance, or from want of opportunity, are unable to visit the Capital. Of the events that occurred during my sojourn of six years, I have noted only the most remarkable. Some of these Notes were originally published in the National Repuelz'mn, of Washington City. T.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington Through the Stereoscope: A Visit to Our National Capital We have, in the second place, the remarkably ingen ious patent maps, which will be found inserted in a pocket in the back of the cover, by means of which one can obtain at a glance the point and the extent of vision in each stereograph, and with them the relation of each scene to every other one and to the whole city. The con stant use of these maps is a matter of cardinal import ance, for by it we are enabled to secure in each instance as vivid a sense of location as though we stood in reality on the spot. In the third place, there is The Story of Washing ton, to be found in the first part of this book, in which effort is made to trace in a clear and entertaining way the rise of the city from a wilderness hamlet to one of the most beautiful capitals of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sights and Secrets of the National Capital: A Work Descriptive of Washington City in All Its Various Phases Tee pet child of the Republic, Washington City, is unknown to the majority of the American people. Few have seen it, and there is no work in print de scribing its varied attractions and sights, or making plain that inner life which daily transpires within it, and in which the whole country is so much interested. It is the centre from which radiate these influences which make our national existence great or feeble, and the entire Republic is affected by its weal or woe. There is a growing desire manifested on all sides to know more of the Capital of the Nation, and it is the object of this volume to gratify this laudable and natural curiosity. It is believed that the picture herein presented is complete, and the author has la bored faithfully to make it accurate. The Publishers, on their part, have spared no expense to render the book attractive. As a guarantee of the excellence and fidelity of the engravings of the Public Build ings, it is only necessary to mention that they were prepared in the famous establishment of Messrs. Har p'er Bros.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Capital: Newspaper Articles and Speeches Concerning the City of Washington This recital of grievances would find a beginning in events which occurred previous to the city's birth. While, ordinarily, neither individuals nor municipal corporations can complain of ill-treatment at a time when they had no existence, the capital on the Potomac may perhaps be ex cused for indulging in a feeble, preliminary wail over the difficulties which it experienced in being born at all. And this privilege should be granted the more readily in View of the fact that many subsequent evils can be traced to their sources in events of the ante-natal period.

This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington Industrial, Commercial and Civic Features of the National Capital of the United States The Washington Chamber of Commerce issues this booklet for the purpose of attracting the attention of the country to a phase of development of the Capital of the Nation which is far less exploited than its national aspect. As a city she enjoys more publicity than any other, but seldom are her purely local, civic features brought directly to the attention of the people of the United States. Guide books tell all about things of historic and Governmental interest and the newspapers and magazines are filled with the doings of her statesmen. The industrial, commercial, financial, educational, residential and other civic features, however, do not enjoy this wide publicity. The following pages are offered, therefore, for the information of the manufacturer or merchant who would seek a favorable place for his factory or commercial house; the careful investor in real estate; the man or woman who is seeking the best city in the United States for a permanent place of residence; the young man or woman who would acquire an education where are offered the best advantages for culture, and for the enlightenment of the visitor. The Chamber of Commerce would have Americans know the Washington of Washingtonians as they now know their own Washington, their capital city.
