New York now has larger population
than all the eleven "provinccs"put together
had then. Virginia, with nearly three times
the population of New York then, now has
less than half the number.
10 an old book, Gazetteer, printed in
1906, Cincinnati is given as follows, in
full:
"CiHcinnati, town in Hamilton county,
Ohio; Situated on the North bank OF the
Ohio river, eight miles west Of the mouth
OF Little Miami river, opposite to Newport
in Kentucky, and 25 miles South Of Fort
Hamilton. Here is Gpost otice SIS miles
from WdShington."
In speaking of Louisville, the same au-
thor says: st is port of entry and the
capital Of the county, but (hs adds, rather
despondngly) the unhealthiness of the stu
alton has checked its growth. The inhab-
itants are estimated at 400"
Vincennes though, has brighter prospects:
."Here is a small fortificatiou, and the town
contained 7l5 inhabitants at the last emu
meration. As the town is the seat of terri
torial jurisdrtion, aud lies in the bosom of
fertile country, it will progress rapidly in
population and improvement" Vincennes
is now an old finished town, while Louis
vile, with population of $1,000, is just be-
ginning career Of almost unexampled
prosperity.
Kaskaskia is also mentioned in flattering
terms, while st. Louis is considered unwor-
thy of mention. Kaskaskia is now a point
not noticeable without particular attention,
is called to it-St Louis is the metropolis
Of the West, with population of 1875 900.
II is interesting to note these changes in
the prospects Of different sections of our
country: some places with the brightest
prospects suddenly coming to standstill
and others, before unknown, suddenly
springing into notice, and cities soon built
where forests stood.
