Excerpt from The Knickerbocker, New-York Monthly Magazine, Vol. 40: July, 1852Probably no other portion of the population of our country is less generally understood, as to its real character, than the denizens of our own Empire City. If one enunciates the patronyinic, knickerbocker,' the Dutchman of our colonial times rises before the mind. If the indi vidual N ew-yorker of the present age is spoken of, no definite idea is suggested, while the aggregate mass of our population is considered as rather a congeries of heterogeneous materials than as a homogeneous and well-defined whole. Without stopping to point out the cause of this prevalent error, we do not hesitate to pronounce all this a misapprehen sion of the truth of the whole subject, and to claim for the population of N ew-york a proper and well-defined individuality of character, and a real elevation of social position, that need not dried a comparison with any other portion or class of the population of the country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
