'LIGurs AND SHADOWS OF New York LIFE
OR, THE SIGHTS AND SENSATIONS OF THE GREAT
Cry" work descriptive of New York City
in all its various phases. Its Spcndors aud
Wretchedness It's High and Low Life Its Mar
bic Palaces and Dark Dens Its Attractions and
Dangers Its Rings and Frauds; Its Leading
Men and Politicians It's Adventures ; Its Mys-
teries and Crimes. By James b. McCabe, Jr.
The National Publishing Co., of Philadelphia,
have just issued one of the most remarkable and
attractive books of the day, bearing the above
title. 1t is comprised in one large octave volume
of $50 pages, and illustrated with nearly 200 fine
eugravings of noted places, life aud scenes, in
New York.
To Mr.. McCabe is due the credit of having pro-
duced the most complete and graphic account of
the great city, and its busy and varied life that
it has been our fortune to meet with. His book
brim full of solid and useful information, and
abounds in descriptions of the various public
buildings of New York, its palaces, prisons, ho-
tells, churches, stores, hospitals, etc.
Tho work sets forth in glowing colors the no.
bic work for suffering humanity, which is going
on every day in the great city, and reveals with
a bold hand the terrible crimes, the dark mystic
rles, and hidden sins of metropolitan life. We
are introduced into the home ofthc Fifth Avenue
Millionaire, and carried with equal interest to
the squalid cellar of the Five Points bcggar. We
are brought face to face with the good and the
bad, the high and the low, with leading mer-
chants, bankers, editors, and actors, with bum
mers. thieves detectives, and murdercrs, with
working women, ballot girls, adventuresses, and
IL host of others, and we seem to be listening to
their stories from their own lips, so thoroughly
does the author cnchain our Interest. Our warm
est enthusiasm and our deepest contempt are al
ternately aroused by the thrilling recals of their
deeds of virtue and vice. The history and frauds
of the famous Tammany King are related with
great force and candor, and this portion alone is
| worth the price of the book.
In short the book is New York in miniature.
The author has penetrated, under the protection
of the police. into the darkest and most danger
haunts of crime i'll the city, and has thus been
enabled to obtain accurate information on the
topics whereof he treats. Visitors to New York,
cannot hope to see or know much of the city
as they may learn by pcrusal of this book To
all who contemplate visiting the great Metropo-
lis, we cordially recommend it, both for its pow
erful warnings against the dangers OF the city.
Those who cannot New York for themselves
will be in great measure repaid for that priya-
tion by reading this work. 1t is published in
! both English aud German sold by subscription
only, and the publishers Want agents in every
county.
