Excerpt from Plans for Beautifying New York and for Enlarging and Improving the City of Boston: Being Studies to Illustrate the Science of City Building Sir, Your brief dismissal of my small offering to the city, last summer, was such as any stranger presuming to advise, might expect, in any country.'
