Excerpt from The Secrets the Great City: A Work Descriptive of the Virtues and the Vices, the Mysteries, Miseries and Crimes of New York City

New york is a great secret, not only to those who have never seen it, but to the majority of its own citizens. Few living in the great city have any idea of the terrible romance and the hard reality of the lives of two thirds of the inhabitants. The writer has seen more of this, perhaps, than falls to the lot of persons whose duty or curiosity does not lead them under the shadow of the darker sides of city life; and he has thought it well to emliody in book form the results of his own observation. At the same time, he has drawn freely upon the experience of those who have seen more than himself.
