Excerpt from Squints Through an Opera Glass The old gentleman himself evidently enjoys to the full capa city of his nature the ottum cum dignitate of his wealth and position. But a few years ago. This liberal, enlightened, and worthy citizen was a small dealer in dead hogs, which he used to buy1n the carcass and cut up at his own door, while his prudent helpmeet was carrying on a cheap boarding house up stairs. By prudence, industry, and economy, the gains of pork and sausages accumu lated year by year, until the huxter became the wholesale dealer and adventurous speculator while the boarding-house expanded into the aristocratic mansion above Bleecker, the daughters ex changed the rolling-pin for the piano, and magnificent weekly entertainments almost made the whole family forget that all their greatness is derived from a long line of illustrious dead - hogs.

Henkin explores the influential but little-noticed role reading played in New York City's public life between 1825 and 1865. The "ubiquitous urban texts"--from newspapers to paper money, from street signs to handbills--became both indispensable urban guides and apt symbols for a new kind of public life that emerged first in New York.
