Excerpt from Men of Affairs in New York: An Historical Work Giving Portraits and Sketches of the Most Eminent Citizens of New York
Here may be read the life stories of those citizens of the American metropolis who have been most eminent in commercial and productive enterprise, and of those whose professional, legislative and official careers have been most marked and valuable. Among them are included many of the most prominent merchants, bank ers, jurists, states-men, theologians, physicians, soldiers, authors, scientists and philanthropists of our country: men who fought nobly for the cause of the Union in the Civil War, men to whom is due the commercial and industrial growth of our city, and who have given it its present high standing as one of the metropolitan cities of the civilized world.
