A tour around New York, and My summer acre; being the recreations of MrFelix Oldboy . present Kings-bridge Road, opposite the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, kept on to Kingsbridge, two miles or more beyond.This was the steepest, most difficult and dangerousroad on Manhattan Island, even more wild and pre-cipitous than the McGowans Pass Road at the north A TOUR AROUND NEW YORK 271 end of Central Park. Several fatal accidents occurredthere and almost innumerable severe ones. Why should I go to the country for change of air, for recreation, or for comfort, so long as I have allthese delights at my door, made ready for my enjoy-ment? No, For me the breezes shall blow fromriver to harbor; for me the streets shall every nightput on their holiday attire; for me the green spotson this island shall shine in summer garb, and thewaters that gird them in shall twinkle in the sun-shine by day and dance with silver gleams by night. Dont talk to me, Felix, said my grandmother, andI emphasize her 3ictum out of my own experience; thereJ«^, no spot on earth half so lovely as this city^of New Yorl.

The writer says: In touching upon Inwood and the waters of the Harlem andSpuyt-den-Duyvil Creek, I hoped you would mention the oldmill that once stood just to the west
