Excerpt from The Nether Side of New York: Or the Vice, Crime and Poverty of the Great MetropolisSome of the articles which make up this volume originally appeared in "The Galaxy," and were so favorably received by the press and public as to seem to excuse their reproduction, with additions, in this more enduring form. In submitting them to the public thus amplified, 1 claim for them no other merit than that they tell the truth of matters which have rarely had that fate. The accidents of my profession of journalist having brought me in personal contact with the Nether Side of New York, I determined to give the public the results of my observations, but I did not attempt the task until four years had been expended in acquiring the information necessary to its proper fulfillment. With such an advantage I ought to have approached the facts as nearly as is possible, and 1 think I have; I know that I have presented those I have gathered without extenuation or exaggeration.It will be noticed that the statistics quoted in this volume arc for the several years from 1868 to 1871. When the articles were originally prepared for the magazine the latest attainable facts were used, and the condition of the city remaining substantially the same during these several years, I have concluded that a more general and satisfactory view of the burdens of the metropolis could be obtained from these statistics of separate years, and I have, therefore, left them unchanged ; if all the figures used had been those of any one of these years the exhibit would not have been more favorable, and no injustice is done by the method adopted.The happy appropriateness of the title under which these articles first appeared, and which is preserved in that of the book, having been often complimented, 1 desire to say that I am not entitled to any credit therefor. It was the suggestion of Messrs. William C. and Frank 1*. Church, the editors of "The Galaxy," to whom 1 am under many obligations, beside this of finding me a name which had the great merit of freshness. Thanking them for the invaluable assistance I have received from them, I also desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to the newspaper press in ail parts of the country, as the notices which my efforts have received have encouraged me to persevere in dealing with these repulsive subjects, in the hope that 1 might furnish a basis of fact for the operations of the social reformers of the future. To this end only have my labors been directed, and 1 hope that my work shows that 1 have at least honestly endeavored to attain it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
