This work has been undertaken, from a be- lief that something of the kind is wanted, by citizens and strangers, as a book of reference, and guide to the numerous business concerns of this extensive city. Philadelphia as it is, comprises every information which may be required, and which, it is believed, cannot be obtained elsewhere without much loss of time. It occupies a place hitherto unattempted, and forms a complete manual for the merchant and traveller, presenting a statistical view of the city, with the most important and useful details for the more frequent subjects of inquiry. Great labour has been bestowed in collecting and arranging the materials, and the general accuracy of the work'can be depended on. Omissions must, of course, be expected, in a first attempt ; and the publisher will be thankful to gentlemen who will point out any errors, which will be corrected in future edi- tions.

PiniADELPHiA, the second city in size in the United States, stands between the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, five miles above their junction, in lat. 39° 57' N. and long. 75° 10' 59" from Greenwich, and is about 120 miles distant fi-om the Atlantic ocean by the course of the river. The city was founded by William Penn, in the year 1682. The original design of the pro- prietor would have covered an area of more than twelve square miles, but by his charter of 1701, the plot of the city was contracted and declared to be bounded by the two rivers, an extent of about two miles east and west, and on the north and south by Vine and Cedar streets, an extent of about one mile. But the progress of im- provements, long since broke beyond these limited boundaries, and now we behold the city compactly built along the Delaware nearly four miles, though for municipal purposes, the boundaries of the city proper remain unaltered. The city is divided into the follow- ing districts : — the corporations of the city of Pliila- delphia, of the Northern Liberties, Kensington, Spring Garden, Southwark and Moyamensing. The whole number of streets in the city and districts is about six hundred, varying much in width. Arch street being sixty feet. Market street one hundred, Broad street one hundred and thirteen, while others are much narrower, 1 10 GOVERNMENT. The first municipal officers were appointed by the Proprietary, but the people soon manilestcd their dis- approbation of a system of government in which they had no sliare, and manifold were the complaints to the General Assembly of the abuses practised under it. On the revolution, this unpopular charter was abrog-ated by the General Assembly, and the city remained under the provincial government until 1789, when it was a second time incorporated. This charter continued in force until tlie year 179 G, when tlie present system was established. The government of the city proper is vested in a Mayor, Recorder, and fifteen Aldermen, a Select and Common Council, besides subordinate executr\'e officers. Mayor. — ^Under the act of incorporation of 1789, the Mayor was annually elected by the Aldermen fi-om their own body; the act of 1796, invested the Select and Common Councils, with the power to elect, and by a supplement passed April 10, 1826, the Councils were no longer restricted in their choice to the body of Aldermen, but were authorized to elect annually any citizen of the city, to the office of Mayor. He is authorized to issue warrants to any part of the county of Philadelphia, for the apprehension of persons charged with having committed any offence within the city; subpoenas to any part of the state, and also writs of capias into any county, for the apprehension of any person indicted or outlawed, for felonies committed within the city. He has the appointment of all the officers of the corporation, except the City Treasurer, and the Clerks and Messengers of the Councils. His salary is two thousand dollars a year, and he cannot GOVERNMENT. 11 hold any office under tlie United States government pending his term. The Recorder of the City under the act of 1789, was elected by the Mayor and Aldermen, for the term of seven years, but by the act of 1796, the appointing power was vested in the governor of the state, and being in a strict sense a judge, he holds his office dur- ing good behaviour. He is vested with the powers of a Justice of the Peace, and Justice of Oyer and Terminer, and General Gaol delivery for the city. He receives a salary from the state, and also from the city, and his office is incompatible with offices imder the United States. Aldermen. There are fifteen Aldermen appointed by tlie Governor, who are inwsted with the powers of Justices of the Peace, and have jurisdiction of all causes of action arising from contract, where the sum demanded is not above one hundred dollars, except where the title to lands may come in question, or actions upon promise of marriage. They hold their commissions during good behaviom'. Mayor''s Court has the same criminal jurisdiction over offi^nces committed within the city as the Sessions has for the county. It is held by the Mayor, Recorder and Aldermen, or any three or more of them, whereof the Mayor or Recorder shall be one. The Mayor pre- fcides when present. Councils. The whole legislative power of the cor- poration is exclusively vested in the Select and Com- mon Councils, who are annually chosen by the people on the second Tuesday in October. They receive no compensation, sit in separate chambers, and each boflv has a negative on the legislative acts of the other. 12 I'UBLIC SQUARES. The Common Council consists of twenty members, elected from such citizens as are qualified to serve as members of the House of Representatives. The Select Council is composed of twelve members, from citizens qualified to serve as senators of this com- monwealth. They are chosen for three years, are divided into three classes, and vacate their seats in rotation, so that one third may be chosen every year. PUBLIC SQUARES. The various public squares, reserved in the original plan of the city, evince the foresight and judgment of Wilham Penn. They are not only conducive to health, by promoting a free circulation of air, but are pleasant places for recreation to the citizens, during the heat of the summer. Independence Square, which extends from Chesnut street to Walnut street, and from Fifth to Sixth streets, is tastefully laid out in gravelled walks, delightfully shaded by indigenous and exotic trees, and enclosed by a substantial iron railing. It is thrown open to the pubhc as a promenade, and is a place of general resort. This square is 398 feet from east to west, and 470 feet from north to south. Washington Square, extends from Sixth street to Washington street, 456 feet, and from Walnut street to Locust street, 370 feet. This square was formerly Potter's Field, but is now laid out in delightfiji walks, and is planted with a variety of beautiful trees. It is surrounded by a row of flourishing Linden trees, planted on a line with the curbstone of tlie street, and is also a place of general resort. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 13 Franklin ^Square lies between Race and Vine streets, and Sixth and Franklin streets. Its extent from north to south is 632 feet, and from east to west 600 feet. It is also handsomely laid out in gravelled walks, planted with trees, and tln'own open to the public. Perm Square, formerly called Centre Square, is at the intersection of Broad and High streets. This space, though formerly entire, was in 1828, by order of Coun- cils, cut into four instict square, which have not yet been thrown open as public walks. Logan Square extends from Race to Vine street, and from Schuylkill Fifth street, westward. This square is not yet improved. Rittenhouse Square, is of the same dimensions as Logan Square, and lies between Walnut and Ann sts. extending westward from Schuylkill Fifth street, be- yond Schuylkill Fourtli street. Not yet improved. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The State House. — The circumstance of the Con- gress of the United States having held its deliberations within these walls, and the Declaration of Indepen- dence having been first publicly read from the steps, July 4, 1776, gives an interest to this building. It was commenced hi the year 1729, and finished in 1735, and though externally plain, has a venerable appear- ance. The whole original expense was not quite six thousand pounds. The steeple by which it was for- merly surmounted was taken down about the close of the revolution, but in 1828, a new one was erected, in order to restore as nearly as practicable this venerable 14 PUBLIC IJUILDIiNGS. building to its original features. It stands on C'hesnut street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, and though for- merly isolated, the whole square is now occupied by pubUc buildings. Bank of the United States. — This splendid building, which is composed externally of marble, stands on Chesnut street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. The foundation stone was laid April 19, 1819, and the building was completed in August, 1824. It is mo- delled after the Parthenon at Athens. Bank of Pennsylvania. — This building has fre- quently been pronounced the chastest specimen of Grecian architecture in the country. The design is taken from the temple of Minerva at Athens. The whole building is composed of Pennsylvania marble. The first stone was laid in April, 1799, and the whole finished in 1801. It stands on Second street, between Chesnut and Walnut streets. 7'he Exchange, when completed will be among the most splendid edifices in the city. It is composed of white marble, and stands at the junction of Dock and Third streets. The Post Office is in this building. The Arcade stands on Chesnut street, west of Sixth street, 100 feet front, and extends north 150 feet to Carpenter street. The first story is occupied as stores and shops, the second as offices, and the third by Peale's Museum of Natural Curiosities. The cellars are occu- pied as refectories. This building which is of white marble, was erected in 1826-27. The University and Medical College Halls stand in rZxlCH.":'^? E'KCaAN'G-E PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 15 Ninth street, between Market and Chesnut streets, and arc each 85 feet front, by 112 feet deep. Erected in 1830-'31. The Mint stands on Cliesnut street, near Broad street. It is of the Ionic order, built of white marble, presenting a front of 122 feet. It was commenced in 1829. Pennsylvania Hospital, occupies an entire square be- tween Spruce and Pine streets, and Eighth and Ninth streets, containing about four acres. The institution was founded in 1750, and in 1755 the east wing of the present commodious building was erected, since which many additions have been made. In the yard fronting on Pine street, is a leaden statue bronzed of William Penn, on a marble pedestal, who is represented holding a scroll, having part of the first sentence of the "Charter of Privileges," inscribed on it. This statue was presented by .Tohn Penn, of London, to the Hospital, in the year 1801. The Marine Asylum stands on the eastern bank of the Schuylkill, a short distance south of the city line. It is 386 feet long, consisting of a portico 90 feet, sup- ported by eight Ionic columns, and two wings each 148 feet. The Alms House. A splendid and spacious build- ing for the reception of the poor stands on the western bank of the Schuylkill, opposite Cedar street. It was commenced in 1831. Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb is a spacious building, constructed of granite, located on 16 PUBLIC BUILDINGS. the west side of Broad street, near Pine street. The whole front is 96 feet 6 inches, and 63 feet deep. The foundation was laid in May, 1824. The Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania. The external appearance of this building conveys a vivid idea of the magnificent castles of Europe during the middle ages. The walls are twelve feet tliick at the base, and the principal front 670 feet in length. The ground occupied by it contains about ten acres. The corner stone was laid May 22, 1823. House of Refuge, stands at the corner of Francis' Lane and the Ridge Road, in a plot of ground 400 feet in length, and 231 in breadth. The main edifice is 92 feet front, by 30 deep. The corner stone was laid June 21, 1827. Theatres. — There are three theatres in Philadelphia: the Chesnut street, the Walnut street, and the Arch street. That in Chesnut street is near the corner of Sixth street. It is calculated to accommodate more than 2000 persons. The present building was erected in 1822. The Walnut Street Theatre stands at the corner of Ninth street, and is 96 feet 6 inches front, by 146 feet deep. It was built in 1809. Arch Street Theatre stands a short distance west of Sixth street, and will contain about the same number as the Ches- nut street house. It was built in 1828. The Water Works. — Of all her public works, Phila- delphia has most reason to be proud of that by which the Schuylkill water has been introduced throughout the city. In 1797, a plan was adopted which was to form a reservoir on the east bank of tlie Schuylkill, from which water was to be thrown by a steam en- gine into a tunnel, and thence carried to another engine FASHIONABLE RIDES, &C. 17 house, at the centre of the city, where it was to be again raised by a second engine into a reservoir, from which it was to be distributed in pipes through the city. Ten years experience proved that a sufficient supply could not be obtained by this method, accord- ingly, in 1811, a new reservoir was created, and two large engines constructed, which, however, proved inadequate to supply the demand, although the annual expenses were enormous. In 1819, the project of damming the Schuylkill, and erecting the works at Fair Mount was commenced, the whole cost of which was in 1824, $432,512, and the entire amount expended on the successive operation, $1,443,585. The con- sumption in the summer months is about 3,000,000 gallons for 24 hours, and the iron pipes through which the water is conveyed to the city and districts, make together an extent of about sixty miles. The sum annually paid for the use of the water is upwards of 60,000 dollars, and the experience of years has shown that the power is sufficient to raise many times as much water as the city can possibly require for its consumption.* FASHIONABLE RIDES, &c. The Columbia Rail Road enters the city at the in- tersection of Broad and Calluwhill streets, and its place of crossing the Schuylkill is about a mile and a * On the 1st of January, 1833, there were in the city and liberties seventy-two and a half miles of Iron pipes. The receipts for water rent the present year, amount to $77,567 75. Expenditures of work- ing the machinery, $1600 — salaries, &c. $3500. 18 FASHIONABLE RIDES, &C. half above Fair Mount Water Works, where a splendid bridg-e is now in progress. It is a fashionable and de- lig-htful ride in the cars to the river. The Philadelphia and Norristown Rail Road enters the city at the intersection of Ninth and Buttonwood streets. It is completed to the upper part of German- town. In the summer of 1832, pleasure cars were placed upon it, with horse power, since which time locomotive engines have been employed. The cars run six or eight times a day, and the ride is as deUght- fiil as it is novel. Gray''s Ferry, renowned as the junketing place of our forefathers — where our grandfathers and grand- mothers danced and sung — where the scenery has a right pleasant smack of the antique about it, and where the floating bridge still swings as it did in the days of the revolution. To reach this spot, the tourist passes by one road the Naval Asylum and the Arsenal ; by the other, the new Alms House, all worth a visit. Beyond the ferry we follow the Darby road, lined with the redoubts prepared for the reception of the English during the late war ; turn off opposite the Blue Bell to Penrose's Ferry, making a pleasant ride of almost fifteen miles. Laurel Hill — cross the Upper Ferry, and pass through the pretty village of Mantua. The Columbia Rail Road crosses the river at this place, and half an hour may be agreeably passed in examining the works and the scenery. At the Falls Bridge there are temptations of various kinds. The best plan is to push on to Flat Rock, passing the Wissahiccon, and through Mana- yimk. WARDS. 19 The Wissahiccon is a volume of itself, unfortunately a sealed volume to ninety-nine in a hundred of the Philadelphians. There are several ways of getting at it; the stout, vigorous pedestrian, who, with his crabstick in hand, cares little about a good ramble, should make his way to Chesnut Hill, stretch beyond, to the intersection of the road with the creek, and there take the foot-path on the east bank. He has now about seven miles down the stream to the Schuylkill, and a walk unequalled for interest. A constant suc- cession of waterfalls, rocks, precipices, rustic bridges, picturesque mills, meadows and streams present them- selves. Pic-nic parties should leave their horses at the Falls of Schuylkill, and take the Wissahiccon at the mouth. The lovers of the picturesque, when fairly in the spot, will soon learn the geography ; the study will amply repay them. WARDS. The City is divided into fifteen wards, which are bounded as follows : — Western Wards. Cedar — From Seventh to Schuylkill, Pine to Soutli, N. by Locust, E. by New-Market, S. by Moyamensing.

There are at present in the city and county three prisons — one at the corner of Sixth and Walnut streets, for the reception of convicts — one at the south-west corner of Arch and Broad streets, for debtors and vagrants. These two, however, arc shortly to be taken down, and the spacious building now nearly completed, in Moyamcnsing, to be substituted in their place. The third is the Eastern Penitentiary, on Cherry Hill, and the most worthy of notice, not only on account of its 3 34 ALMS HOUSE. architecture and arrangement, but for the admirable discipline which has been adopted to reclaim its in- mates. Surroimded by massy walls, stands the building for the confinement of convicts, from the centre of which diverge the cells, which are pierced throughout their whole length by galleries. A rotunda in the centre, occupied by tlie superintendent, enables him to over- look the whole interior of the prison. Small yards are attached to each cell, where the prisoners are permitted to enjoy the air and exercise for two hours every day. No communication is allowed between the convicts, nor are strangers permitted to see or visit them. Each occupies his separate cell, which contains an iron frame for his bed, a loom or other implements for the labour which has been assigned him, a chair, table, and every appliance to ensure the utmost possible cleanliness. Such as can read are furnished with a Bible, while every Sunday a chaplain preaches in the gallery, and is distinctly heard by the inmates of every cell. By means of flues, an equal and sufficient heat is kept up in the coldest weather. Although this system is a new experiment in prison discipline, it already promises to be attended with the happiest results. The criminal in silence and solitude, has an opportunity of looking back upon the errors which have thus degraded him, and comes back into the world doubly armed to resist the temptations which have misled him. ALMS HOUSE. The present Alms House is situated in Spruce street, on the south side, between Tenth and Eleventii streets, embracing the whole square. It is a plain brick build- FIRE DEPARTMENT. 35 ing. This building will be taken down in a few years, and the inmates removed to the spacious and beautiful buildings now being erected on the opposite side of the river Schuylkill, when will be connected with the esta- blishment, agricultural employment, as well as other occupations conducive to health, and to the reduction of pauperism.

MILITARY. 81 SECOND BRIGADE. The Second Brigade consists of the wliole Mihtia and Volunteer force of the county ; but there is nothing to prohibit the Volunteer corps, either of the city or county, from attaching themselves to either Brigade. — As independent corps, this right belongs to them. The Second Brigade is commanded by Gen. John D. Goodwin. Staff. — William O. CUne. There are several fine Regiments, mostly consisting of country troops, attached to this brigade ; but, as the general distance of their respective locations is so far from the city, we seldom, except upon occasions of great public excitement, are gratified with a visit from them. That part of the Brigade which resides within the city limits, consists of Cavalry. Washington Cavalry, Captain Barras. Penn Township Troop, Captain Nixon. Light Infantry. Governor's Guards, Captain White. Monroe Guards, Captain Streeper. Northern Liberty Volunteers, Captain Goodman. Penn Township Guards, Captain Lutz. Lafayette Light Infantry, Captain Meady. Mechanic Rifle, a new corps. The Washington Rifle corps, and several others whose names we are unable to learn, are but merging into existence. Of the country part of this Brigade, that which has fallen particularly under our notice is the Holmesburg troop, solely commanded by Captain Breck. This may be considered as among the most superior of its kind within the limits of the state ; their strength being from G S'2 LIST OF PILOTS. eighty to one hundred men, rank and file, and their superior horsemansliip and discipline being of a kind that may be equalled, but not surpassed. The Germantown troop, Captain Smith. — This is another of those whose horsemanship and skill far sur- pass expectation created by appearance. There are, likewise, the Germantown Blues, the Frankford Artillerists, tl>e Oxibrd Light Infantry, and a very superior corps now under command of Colonel Bomeisler. The field officers of this Brigade, as far as we remem- ber, are Colonel Knap, Major Nathans, Col. Bomeisler. Brigade Inspector. — Colonel R. Bartle. LIST OF PILOTS, Samuel West, John Norman, Wm.

'' The instructions of the College are conveyed in part by leetures, but principally by the study of the most approved text books, aided by the explanations of the professors. The diligence of the student is tested by rigid daily examinations. The character of each reci- tation is recorded, and the results communicated to pa- rents or guardians in the middle or at the end of each term. At the end of each term, public examinations of the classes are held by the Faculty ; and the students are classed in the order of merit. Defective students are not allowed to proceed to a higher class, and incompetent students are dismissed from the institution. Negligent and indolent students are transferred to a lower class when unable to proceed with the studies of their own class. The terms for instruction in the regular studies of the College already enumerated, are $25 per term, pay- able in advance. The modern languages are taught by approved in- structors, at a moderate additional expense. Proper boarding, including washing, &c. can be had in the city, for from $2 50 to $3 per week. Students not from the city of Philadelphia, will, if it be requested by their parents, have one of the faculty appointed as a guardian, who will take charge of the disbursements, and attend to the comfort and well-doing of the individual. The degree of Master of Arts may be conferred on the alumni of the University, bachelors in the arts of three years' standing, who shall apply for that honour. Any master of arts upon laking his degree, may de- liver a public dissertation, at the commencement at 112 98 MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS. which his degree is conferred, under the direction of the provost. A public commencement for conferring degrees is held on the last Thursday in July. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. The Medical Department is under the immediate government of the medical professors, who constitute the Faculty of Medicine, subject to the rules and statutes of the board of trustees. The organization of the Medical Faculty is as fol- lows. It consists of A professorship of Anatomy. A professorship of the Institutes and Practice of Physic, and Clinical Medicine. A professorship of Surgery. A professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy. A professorship of Chemistry. A professorship of Midwifery and the Diseases of Women and Children. The Medical Faculty hold meetings for the purpose of arranging and conducting the business of their de- partment, and establishing proper rules and regulations, (subject to the rules and statutes of the board of trus- tees,) for the preservation of order and decorum among the medical students. They keep regular minutes of their proceedings, which are at all times open to tlie inspection of the board of trustees. > The Medical Faculty appoint one of their own mem- bers to act as Dean, and it is his duty to keep the minutes of the faculty, to arrange and conduct the business of exarainmg the candidates for medical de- MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS. 99 greeg, to arrange and conduct the business of the faculty at their meetings, and to attend to correspondence. The session for the medical lectures begins on the first Monday of November, and ends about the first day of March ensuing. The commencement for conferring Medical Degrees is by a special mandamus of the board of trustees, held generally about the first day of April, or within as short a time as possible after the examinations of candidates are over. Rules and Regulations for conferring the Degree of Doctor of Medicine. I. Every candidate for this degree must have attain- ed the age of twenty-one years — applied himself to the study of medicine for three years — and been during tliat time the private pupil, for two years at least, of a respectable practitioner of medicine. II. The candidate must have attended two complete courses of the following lectures in this institution; Anatomy. Institutes and Practice of Physic and Clinical Medi- cine. Materia Medica and Pharmacy. Chemistry. Surgery. Midwifery, and the Diseases of Women and Cliil- dren. He must also have attended one course of Clinical instruction in the Philadelphia Alms-IIousc Infirmary, or the Pennsylvania Hospital, or some other institution approved of by the Faculty of Medicine. III. Medical students who have attended one com- plete course in a respectable medical school, where the 100 MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS. attendance on two complete courses is necessary to a degree, and where the same branches are taught as in this, are permitted to become candidates by an attend- ance here for one full course only ; and are by the latter placed upon the same privilege with students who have attended this school twice. IV. Preparatory to obtaining any tickets, the student must matriculate, by having his name registered by the Dean of the Medical Faculty ; and he shall not be con- sidered to have attended a complete course of lectures, unless his tickets are taken on or before the third Mon- day of the session. V. When candidates for a Medical Degree apply to the Dean for admission as such, they must exhibit their tickets to prove that the regulations have been complied with. VI. Each candidate, at the time of his application, must deliver to the Dean of the Medical Faculty at least one week before his examination, and on or before the 10th of March, a thesis composed by himself, on some medical subject, and to be approved of by the professors. This thesis is referred to one of the professors, who shall examine the candidate upon it, in the presence of the Medical professors, and such of the trustees as choose to attend. VII. When a candidate is rejected, his essay will be retained by the Medical Faculty. VIII. When candidates withdraw their essays for any purpose whatever, they upon reapplication will be placed at the foot of the list. IX. The dissertation must be in the candidate's own hand-writing, and must be written uniformly on paper of the same size, the alternate pages being left blank. General bad spelling in a thesis, or general inattention to the rules of grammar, precludes a candidate for ex- amination for a degree. MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS. 101 X. All questions on the admissibility of a thesis, shall be determined some time previously to the day fixed for the examination of the candidate, who may have pre- Bented it. XI. A thesis may be published if the candidate de- sire it, tlie permission of the professor by whom he was examined thereon being first obtained, but no alteration shall be made therein after such permission is given. A copy of the thesis must be deposited in tlie University librar)^, before the degree is conferred. XII. The voting on the case of each candidate is by private ballot, and two negative votes reject him. XIII. Each candidate shall pay to the Dean of the Faculty the fees of graduation at the time of his exami- nation. XIV. Candidates who have passed their examinations, and in other respects complied with the regulations, must be reported by the Dean to the Provost, who in turn will communicate such report to the board of trus- tees, in order that if approved of by them, their mandamus be issued for conferring the degree at such time as tliey may think expedient. XV. The degree will not be conferred upon a candi- date who absents himself from the public commence- ment, except by a special permission of the Medical Faculty. XVI. Graduates of respectable medical schools, by attending one complete course in this institution, are put upon the same footing with students who have at- tended two complete courses here. XVII. Honorary degrees may be conferred at the instance of the Provost and Medical Faculty, or in pur- suance of a resolution of the trustees ; but no such de- gree shaJl be conferrted unless the mandamus ordering it be signed by two-tliirds of the whole number of trus- 102 LITERARY AND tees, or unless the candidate shall have been nominated at the board three months previously to taking the question on conferring the degree.

PHILADELPHIA AND COLUMBIA RAIL ROAD. This rail road, as originally designed, extends from Philadelphia to the town of Columbia, on tlie Susque- hannah river, and terminates at a point about thirteen miles below York Haven. The distance between these two places by the rail road is eighty-one and 3-4th miles. Following the line of the road from the inter- section of Vine and Eroad streets, Philadelphia, for rather more than two and a half miles, you arrive at the foot of the Schuylkill inclined plane, which is about fifty feet above mean tide, on whicli level the road runs to this point. This plane is about two thousand seven hundred feet in length, and its elevation from base to fciunmit is about one hundred and eighty feet. There is at the western extremity of the road another inclined plane at Columbia. This is near two thousand feet in length, and has an elevation from foot to head of ninety feet. Stationary steam power will be resorted to, to overcome these acclivities. The distance from the head of the plane at Philadelphia to the head of that at Columbia, exceeds seventy-seven miles, and in the whole of this distance, the elevation will not exceed thirty feet to the mile, a degree of ascent overcome with tlie ut- most facility by the aid of horse power alone, and for purposes of rail road transportation almost equivalent to a level. The average ascent, however, does not much exceed twenty-five feet to the mile The road is entirely graded, the cuttings and em- bankments generally slight. The liighest point on the MISCELLANEOUS IXFORMATION. *115 line is at " the Gap," about tliirty miles from Columbia. Tliis cut is about Uiirty-two feet deep. The bed of the road here is five hundred and sixty feet above mean tide, three hundred feet above the head of the plane at Schuylkill, and two hundred above that of Columbia. This road has been located with a peculiar view to its adaptation to steam power for the purposes of trans- portations, and the shortest radius of curvature occur- ring any where on the line is about six hmidred and tliirty feet, being six degrees of curvature in a chord of sixty-six feet, and this most desirable end has been at- tained, with but slight cuttings and fillings. The country tlirough which the road winds its way is unsurpassed in interest and beauty. The whole line of the rail road, and the Lancaster turnpike pursuing the same course, and alternately crossing each other, is for many miles richly studded with magnificent and imposing mansions, delightful villas, substantial farm houses and capacious barns and granaries, and for 20 miles present to the enraptured gaze the appearance of one extensive and continuous village, the abode of health, industry, and content, the home of the happy, the virtuous, and the frugal. But few towns of any consequence arc passed in its route. Many streams, creeks, and rivulets are traversed by it by means of wooden structures, of the most substantial description, designed tastefully, placed judiciously, in their mechani- cal execution remarkable for their neatness, and well calculated for their durability and security. The Schuyl- kill is crossed by a splendid viaduct of stone, 980 feet long. The most remarkable structures of timber are over the Great and Little Conestoga, near Lancaster. The one is HOG hundred feet in length, and 34 in breadth, *^116 MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION. resting on 10 piers — ^^tlie other is about 1000 feetlong^. They are entirely completed. The road passes directly through the city of Lancaster, and from thence to its point of destination, Columbia, on the Susquehannah. Columbia is a thriving and flourishing town, with about 2500 inhabitants. The original estimated cost of this work was $2,29 7,120, being about $28,173 per mile. From some departure, however, from the designed method of construction, the amount expended will, upon its completion, much ex- ceed this amount, and it would not be hazarding much to say that the final cost of the eighty-three and l-4th miles between Philadelphia and Columbia, will reach $3,000,000. From Philadelphia westward, 22 miles of the road are completed and in constant use. At about this dis- tance the Pennsylvania rail road, as this is frequently called, " par excellence," receives in the South Valley Hill, two miles west of Paoli, the West Chester Rail Road. This road commences at the flourishing borough of West Chester, containing about 2000 inhabitants. The distance from that place to its intersection with the Pennsylvania Road is about ten miles.
