To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
James feels the lack of in New York, he would not expect to find in the lower quar- ters of London or Paris. The slums are not the places in any cities that are pointed out as restful or homelike or samples of civic beauty.
Even in the best quarters along the east side of the Central Park our French and English friends will find nothing that reminds them of the square houses of Hyde Park, or the monotonous gray-stones of the Champs Elys6es. Time was when the streets of upper New York wore a dul...l garment of chocolate-brown, and were as sedate and as uniform as the spirit of 1850 was prosaic. But all that has largely disappeared with the new era, and in its place there are infinitely varied houses of brick, stone, and marble. The great wealth of the city is throwing ofif an ornate efflorescence in its up-town houses, just as the com- mercial wealth of Florence centuries ago reared splendid palaces along the Amo ; and just as that of Buda-Pesth Pl. 26. — Metropolitan Museum and Eighty-Second Street THE NEW CITY 119 or Bucharest is doing to-day in its florid rendering of the art nouveau.
