fereit wards through which our great thoroughfarC
passes But 10 be rightly appreciated tho stree, must BE-
viewed whole. The magnificent effect OF Broadway
in mourning can only thus be cstima.ed. From ne
Battery to Union square III not building

up in The all pcryaiing sorrow. Germans, fraachmrn,

aspect Of Great Britain when Prince Albert was so sud
denly cut on The writer visited the gteat
