Book Description
Excerpt from Market Book, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing a Historical Account of the Public Markets in the Cities of New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn; With a Brief Description of Every Article of Human Food Sold Therein A preface appears to be demanded from all who are guilty of introducing another book into life; whether it is done for fame, name, profit, the public good, to be instructive or interesting, or for any other consideration. In my case, being found here, so much out of my line, I do not know under which, or how many, of the above heads to place myself; and I must therefore leave the reader to judge, and determine my position from his own estimate of my merit. For several years, the unemployed hours from my business, or rather profession, had hung heavily on my mind, and to fill them up satisfactorily, was a thought I had often indulged in. To be sure, at times, there were no leisure hours, not one of the twenty-four, but what were needed for rest; and again, one, two, three, and sometimes four, could be employed in doing something, either useful or wasteful; but what to do, was the question. I knew I had some knowledge, which business and observation had given me; but I also knew that I was very deficient in learning, or at least of knowing how to ex press myself, satisfactorily to myself. So I thought to improve, or at least to inform myself, even at this late day; but the reader may say, An old scholar is not an apt one - and so I found it. I had the disadvantage of not knowing which end to begin with, but went headforemost into what appeared to me to be the most agree able to my feelings. Early in life, I had engaged in the military, and have continued in it, I may say with but a short intermission, to the pres ent day: this somewhat excited the mind, and sometimes drew heavily on my leisure hours, while I sought such information as I could find on this subject. My researches at last extended to the rooms of the Historical Society, where I became acquainted with the attentive, obliging, and gentlemanly Librarian, Mr. George H. Moore, who, after an agreeable acquaintance, unexpectedly caused me to be introduced as a member of this honored association. Here he opened out to me all the rich treasures contained therein, and I eagerly devoured, not only the military subjects, but all connected with our city; and at last I began to feel that I had either swallowed or been bitten by a rabid antiquary. I found there was no remedy for this dreadful disease, but by taking, in allopathic doses, sundry piles of old musty records, in various forms and at various times. I submitted to the treatment, but, in my case, it only relieved the disease for a short period after the last time - worn paper of the pile had passed; upon the sight or knowledge of another, it again re turned in full force. In fact, I had acquired a fondness for bistori cal information, and more especially for such as related to my native city.
