Product Information

Excerpt from Fur Dealers and Furriers: Raw Furs and Skins; Ladies' Furs, Fur Robes and Skins Gents' Furs, Children's Furs As the eye of the visitor first takes in the island-city of New York from some commanding eminence - say Brooklyn Heights, which probably affords the most comprehensive view - a hundred questions arise in his mind, as to its dimensions, its gigantic commerce, its ships and docks and stately edifices, with numerous other statistical queries, upon which he may desire to be informed. The city is situated at the mouth of the Hudson River, eighteen miles from the Atlantic Ocean, in latitude about 41, longitude 74 . The city and county are identical in limits, and occupy the entire surface of Manhattan Island; Randall's, Ward's, and Blackwell's Islands, in the East River; and Bedloe's, Ellis's, and Goverr's Islands, in the bay - the last three being occupied by the United States Government. Manhattan Island, on which the city proper stands, is thirteen and a half miles in length, with an average breadth of one and three-fifths miles, forming an area of nearly twenty-two square miles, or fourteen thousand acres. The islands in East River and the bay make four hundred additional acres. New York Island is bounded on the rth by Harlem River and Spuyten Devil Creek, which separate it from the main-land of the State, and present some exquisite scenery; on the east are Long Island Sound, with its clusters of beautiful islets, and East River; and the ble Hudson laves its western shore. The surface of the island was originally very rough. A rocky ridge ran from the southern point rthward, sending out several jagged spurs, which, after branching irregularly for about five miles, culminated in Washington Heights (two hundred and thirty-eight feet above tide-water), and in a sharp, precipitous promontory, one hundred and thirty feet high, at the rthern extremity of the island. Most of the rock is too coarse for building purposes, and the entire stratum is evidently the production of some violent upheaval. Most of the lower portion of the island is composed of alluvial sand-beds; and there were also many swamps in different quarters, though the few remaining marshes are rapidly disappearing, and being filled in for new streets.
