INTRODUCTION.
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 iSf
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 trHyt^lier, presenting a statistical view of
the city, with t'lfe most imp.);i£:nt and useful
details for the iiore frequent subjects of
inquiry. Great labour has been bestowed in
collecting and arranging the materials, and the
general hcc^jiacy of \be 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.

DESCRIPTION OF PHILADELPHIA.
Phii-adelphia, the second city in size in the United
States, stands between the Delaware and Schuylkill
rivers, five miles above tlieir junction, in lat. 39° 57'
N. and long. 75° 10' 59" from Greenwich, and is about
120 miles distant from the Atlantic ocean by the course
of the river. The city v^'as 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 Phila-
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.

The Common Connrxl consiittri of twenty iiumiiIkts,
elected from snrh citizens as are qualified to serve as
members of the House of Representatives.
The Srlect CnuvrU is composed of twelve inemlKTs,
from citizens f|ualified to serve as senators of this com-
nionwealth. 'I'liey arc cliosen for tlirce years, are
divided into tlirce classes, and vacate their seats in
rotation, so tliat ono tiiird may be chosen every year.
PUBLIC SQUARES.
The various public squares, reserved in the orig^inal
plan of the city, evince the foresight and judjrmeiit of
William Pcnn. Tiicy are not only conducive to health,
by promotinjof a free circulation of air, l)ut are ])lea^ant
places for recreation to tlie citizens, during tlie heat
of the summer.
Indcprndmce Stptare, which extends from C'hesnut
street to Walnut street, and from Fifth to Sixth streets,
is tastefully laid out in gravelled walks, delightfully
shaded by indiircnous and exotic trees, anil enclosed by
a substantial iron railing. It is thrown dik-u to the
public 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.
Wdshinfrinn Sijitarf, extends from Sixth street to
Washington strci-t, laO feet, and from WaJnut street
to Locust street, 'AH) feet. This s(juare wa.s formerly
Potter's Field, but is now laid out in delightful walks,
and is plant(>d with a varitty of iM-autilul trees. It is
Hurrouniled by a row of flourisliirig Limlen trees,
planted on a line witli the curbstone of the street, and
is also u 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 thrown open to the public.
Penn 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 3'^et 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 Fomth street. Not yet improved.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The State House. — The circumstance of the Con-
gress of tlie 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 in 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
bnikliiiij to it« oricinal fi'iiturrs. It stiiuls on C'hcsiiut
street, between FiHIi and Sixth strecti^, and tJinuirh for-
merly isoIat(ui, the whole sijuaro is now occupietl by
public buildings.
Bank of the United States. — Tliis splendid l)uildinjjf,
which is conijwsed externally of marble, stands on
C'hcsnut street, between Fourth and Fit^h street>-. The
foundation sloiie was laid April 19, 1819, and tlic
buildincr was completed hi Ausrust, 1824. It is mo-
delled after the Parthenon at Athens.
Bank of Penui^yhuinia. — This buildinjj has fre-
quently been pronounced the ehastcst speeinien of
Grecian architecture in the country. The desip-n is
taken from the temple of ."Minerva at Athens. 'I'ho
whole building^ is composed of Pennsylvania marble.
The first stone was laid in April, 1799, and the whole
finished in IHOI. It stands on fc^jcond .street, between
Chesnut and Wahmt streets.
The Erchmirre, when completed will be amonp;' 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 Olfice is in tJiis building.
The Arcade stands on Cliesnut street, west of Sixth
street, lOU feet front, and extends north l.'iO feet to
('arjM'ntcr street. 'I'lie first story is occupied as stores
and slio]is, the second as f)|]iees, and the third by IVide's
Museum of Natural ( "nriositics. The cellars are oeeu-
pied as refectories. This buildinij which is of white
marble, was erected in lH*2(>-'27.

The Mint stands on Chesnut 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 Eightli and Ninth
streets, containing about four acres. The institution
was fomidcd 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 vi^as presented by John 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

foundation was laid in May, lS'2i.
The Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylrmnia. The
external appearance of this buildinjT conveys a vivid
idea of the magnificent castles of Europe durinij llic
middle apes. Tlic walls aie twelve feet thick at the
base, and the principal front 670 feet in length. The
ground oceuj)ied by it contains about ten acres. The
corner stone was laid May '■Z'2, 1823.

Lane and the Ridge Road, in a plot of ground 400 feet
in lengtl), and 23 1 in breadth. The main edifice is
92 feet front, by 30 deep. The corner stone was laid
June 21, 1«27.
Theatres. — There are three theatres in Philadelphia:
the Chesnut street, the Wahiut street, and the Arch
street. 'I'hat in Chesnut street is near the eorncr of
SixtJi street. It is calculated to acconnnodate more
than 2000 persons. The present buihhnjr was erected
in 1822. Tlie Wahmt Street Th-'atre \slands at the
corner of Ninth street, and is fU! feel (J inches front,
by 14(1 feet deep. It was built in IbOi). Arch Street
Theatre stands a short distance west of Sixtli street,
and will eontiiin about the same number a.s Uie Ches-
nut street house. It was built in 1828.
The Water iro?-A-.«?.— Of all her public works, Phila-
dcl|ihia Ikls most rea.son to be proud of tlial by which
the Schuylkill water has been introduced throufjhout
the city. In 1797, a plan w;is adopted which was to
form a reservoir on Uie east bank of tlic Schuylkill,
from which water was to be Ihrmvn by n .steam en-
gine into u tujuiel, and tiienct turned toonulJitr cn^'ine

house, at the centre of the city, where it was to be
again raised by a second engine into a reservoir, from
wliich 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 w^ater 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 Callowhill 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, «fcc. $3500.

IiaJf above Fair Mount Water Works, where a splendid
bridn-c is now in progress. It is a fasliiouablc aiid de-
lightful ride in tlie cars to tlic river.
The Philadelphia and Norristorrn Rail Road enters
tlic city at the intersection of Ninth and Buttonwood
Btreets. It is completed to the upj)er part of German-
town. In the summer of 1832, pleasure cars were
j)laced 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 delight-
ful as it is novel.
Gray^s Ferry^ renowned as tlie 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 Ahns House, all worth a visit
Beyond the ferry we follow the Darby road, lined with
the redoubts pre|)ared for the reception of the English
during the late war ; turn otf opi)ositc the lilue Bell
to Penrose's Ferry, making a pleajsajit ride of almost
fiflcen miles.

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.

* This splendid building is one of the finest orna-
ments of Philadelphia. It excites the attention, and
commands the admiration of our citizens and of stran-
gers, while it reflects credit upon the enterprising stock-
holders, as well as upon the architect who planned it.
The Exchange occupies a lot of ground bounded by
Third, Walnut and Dock streets. The first floor is
divided off into the Post Office, a Coffee Room and Bar
Room, Stock Broker's Offices, and several offices of In-
surance Companies. The Reading Room, on the second
floor, will be very spacious and convenient. It is to be
under the superintendence of J. M. Sanderson, Esq. a
gentleman well calculated for the situation, he having
for ten or twelve years past been the proprietor of an
establishment of the same kind in this city,

WATCH.
Eastern District — ^Watch House corner of Second
and Market street ; number of watchmen employed is
fifty.
Western District — Watch House corner of Filbert
and Broad streets ; number of watchmen employed is
sixty-one — total in the city proper, one hundred and
eleven.
The annual expense for lighting and watching is,
$57,280 62, for the year 1832.
PRISONS.
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, are shortly to be taken down,
and the spacious building now nearly completed, in
Moyamensing, 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.
iirchitccturc and arrangement, Init for the ndinirable
discipline which has been adopted to reclaim its in-
mates.
Surromidod by massy walls, stands the building for
the confinement of convicts, from the centre of which
diverge tlie cells, which arc pierced throughout their
whole length by galleries. A rotunda in tlic centre,
occupied by the superintendent, enables him to over-
look the whole interior of the prison. Small yards are
attached to each cell, where tlie 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 liis separate cell, which contains an iron frame
for his bed, a loom or other implements for tlie labour
which has been assigned him, a chair, table, ai\d (very
appliance to ensure tlie utmost possible cleanliness.
Such as can read arc furnisiied 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 discij)linc, it already promises to
be attended with the happiest results. Tlic criminal
in silence and solitude, has an opiKirtunity of looking
back upon the errors which have thus degraded him,
and comes back into the world doubly armed to resist
the temptations which liavc misled him.
ALMS HOUSE.
The present Alms House is situated in Spruce street,
on the south side, between Tentli and F\!rvrnth streets,
embracing the whole square. It is a plain brick build-

Many of the works in these various depots are scarce,
and not easily piocured at the present time. The library
of the University contains a donation from the unfor-
tunate Louis XVL, made during the Revolutionary war,
all of which were printed at the royal printing office,
and treat of mathematics, natural history, &,c. The
library of the Academy of Fine Arts contains a dona-
tion from Bonaparte. The libraries of the Hospital and
Alms House, contain the best works on medicine, sur-
gery, and the sciences ; while those of the Academy of
Natural Sciences and the Museum, are devoted to na-
tural history and travels. The library of St. Augustine's
Church, contains, we believe, the only complete copy of
the " Fathers" in this country.

SECOND BRIGADE.
The Second Brigade consists of the whole Militia
and Volunteer force of the county ; but tliere is notliing
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. Cline.
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

eighty to one hundred men, rank and file, and their

another of those whose horsemanshij) and skill far sur-
pass exi)ectation created by appearance.
There are, likewise, the (Jerinantown Blues, the
Frankford Artillerists, (he Oxford Li-^lit Infantry, ajivi a
very superior corps now under couunand of Colonel

The field officers of this Rrijjade, as far as we remem-

All the classes, except the senior class, recite both in
the morning- and afternoon.
The instructions of the College are conveyed in part
by lectures, 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 wiU 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

lit MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATIO.'V.
rHILADIXPniA AM) COLUMBIA RAIL ROAD.
This rail road, as originally designed, extends from
Philadelphia to the town of Cflumbia, on the Susque-
hannah river, and terniinatns at a point about thirteen
miles below York Haven. The distance between these
two places by the rail road is eighty-one and 3-'lth
miles. Following the line of the road from the inter-
Kcction of Vine and Proad streets, I'hiladclphia, for
rather more than two and a half miles, you arrive at
the foot of the Schuylkill inclined plane, which is about
fiff}' feet above mean tide, on which level the road runs
to this point. This plane is about two thousand si ven
hundred feet in length, and lis elevation from base to
summit is about on(; hundred and eighty fecL There
is at the western extremity of the road another inclined
plane at Columbia. This is near two thousand feet in
lengtli, and has an elevation from foot to head of ninety
feet. Stationary steam power will be resorted to, to
overcome these acclivities. Tlic distance from tlie
head of the plane at Philadclpliia to the head of that at
Columbia, exceeds sevenly-scvcii miles, and in th»- whole
of this distajice, the elevation will not exceed thirty feet
to the mile, a degree of ascent overcome witli Uic ut-
most facility by tlie aid of horse power alone, and tor
purposes of rail road transporlatiun almost equlvaknt
to a level. Th<- rverage ascent, iiovvevcr, does not much
exceed twenty-five feet to the mile
The road is entirely graded, (he cuttings and em-
bankments generally blight. The highest point on the

line is at " the Gap," about thirty miles from Columbia.
This cut is about thirty^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 hundred and
thirty 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 through 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
healtli, industr}'^, and content, the home of the happy,
the virtuous, and the frugal. But few towns of any
consequence are 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 1400 hundred feet in length, and 34 in breadth,

resting on 10 piers — the oilier is about 1000 tletlongf.
They are entirely completed. Tlio roud passes directly
throug'h the city of Lancaster, and from thence to its
point of destination, Columbia, on the Susquehannah.
Columbia is a tliriving and tlourisliing town, witli about
2500 inhabiUints.
The original estimated cost of this work was S~,29 7, 1 20,
being about !?-2S,173 per mile. From some departure,
however, from the desiiiiiod na thod of construction, the
aanount cxj)ended will, upon its completion, much ex-
ceed this amount, and it would not be hazarding much
to say that the final cost of tlie eighty-tliree and 1-ltli
miles between Philadelphia and Columbia, will reach
$3,000,000.
From Philadelphia westward, 22 miles of tlie road
are completed and in constant use. At al>out 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 Kail
Road. This road commences at the flourishing borough
of West Chester, containing about 2000 inhabiUints.
The distance from Ihat place to its intersection with the
Pennsylvania Road is about ten miles.
