FOREWORD

In the making of this book the author has drawn from many sources. First, for many suggestions, he is
indebted to Mr. Guy Nichols, the librarian of the Players Club, whose knowledge of the city is so profound
that his friends occasionally refer to him as "the man who invented New York." The author is indebted to the
Fifth Avenue Association and to the invariable courtesy of those persons in the New York Public Library with
whom he has come in contact.

Among the books that have been consulted are, first of all, the admirable monographs, "Fifth Avenue," and
"Fifth Avenue Events," issued by the Fifth Avenue Bank. From these he has drawn freely. Among other
volumes are "The Diary of Philip Hone," Ward McAllister's "Society as I Have Found It," George Cary
Eggleston's "Recollections of a Varied Life," Matthew Hale Smith's "Sunshine and Shadow in New York"
(1869), Seymour Dunbar's "A History of Travel in America," Miss Henderson's "A Loiterer in New York,"
William Allen Butler's "A Retrospect of Forty Years," Fremont Rider's "New York City," Francis Gerry
Fairfield's "The Clubs of New York," Anna Alice Chapin's "Greenwich Village," Theodore Wolff's "Literary
Haunts and Homes," Rupert Hughes's "The Real New York," James Grant Wilson's "Thackeray in the United
States," Mrs. Burton Harrison's "Recollections, Grave and Gay," Abram C. Dayton's "Last Days of
Knickerbocker Life in New York," and Martha J. Lamb's "History of the City of New York." Also various
articles in the magazines and newspapers.
