TO THE FUBLIO. la eompilmg and an-an^ing tiiis book, it has been the object to make its contents as plain and tberefore as useful to strangers as a work of this kind can be made. There are many who visit the city, who from lack of knowledge of places of interest, leave again, without having seen anything but " bricks and anortar^" whereas with a book of this nature In their pockets, they would have been enabled to learn and observe many of the city sights, without troubling their friends or asking sti'angers. Accompanjing this little work is a line Map of (he City and famoiis Ventral Park. Confident that its issue meets a want long felt, the undersigned, witkout further remark, offer their " Strangehs"" Guide"" to those whom pleasure or business may have called to the city, earnestly hoping tiiat it will fully answer the purpose fof which it is intended.
