New York: Wm. C. Bryant & Co, 1863. Soft vertical fold (from mailing?) and wrappers lightly soiled, pale stain to upper gutter margin. 8vo. 33 pages. Original printed wrappers; blue cloth portfolio. FIRST EDITION. Bristed writes vehemently against the prospect of a railroad along Fifth Avenue: "the mischiefs which a railroad on the Fifth avenue would inflict on the residents there as householders, are so obvious, and in many respects so analogous to those which a railroad on Brodway [sic] would inflict on the owners and occupiers there, that we may pass them over to save time and space-the more readily because, great as they would be, they sink into insignificance before the harm done the avenue as a thoroughfare for private vehicles." Sabin 8042.
