Text Appearing Before Image:
mble each other in every distin-guishable particular occasion a bewilderment and fatigue to the unaccus-tomed eye, which a citizen of Philadelphia can scarcely comprehend. The uniformity and plainness which William Penn has bequeathedin such an abiding legacy to Philadelphia, however, is seen but by a faintpenumbra in the dress of the inhabitants, or in their equipages, style of liv-ing, and costliness of furniture and entertainment. A faint shadow of orig-inal simplicity there still certainly exists, visible through all the departuresfrom the spirit of Quakerism; and it is a leaven of taste and elegance in theferment of luxury which has given Philadelphia emphatically a characterfor refinement. A more delightful temper and tone of society, a more en-joyable state of the exercise and mode of hospitality, or a more comfortablemetropolis to live in, certainly does not exist this side of the water. AEuropean would prefer Philadelphia to every other residence in the UnitedStates. 318 ill:
Text Appearing After Image:
FAIRMOUNT GARDENS, PHILADELPHIA THE walks here, though not extensive, are delightful, from the viewsthey command over the Schuylkill. In the early days of William Penn,this side of the river was covered by a thick wood; and so late as Franklinstime (who frequented it, says the annalist, with his companions, Osborne,Watson, and Ralph), the banks afforded a secluded and rural retreat,much resorted to by swimmers. The name of Schuylkill, given it by theDutch, is said to express Hidden River, as its mouth is not visible in as-cending the Delaware. The Indians called it by a name meaning TheMother; and a small branch of the Schuylkill, higher up, called MaidenCreek, was named by them, Ontelaunee, meaning the little daughter of agreat mother. Among the recorded amusements of Philadelphia, however, the Mes-chianza is the most remarkable. This was a tilt and tournament, withother entertainments, given to Sir William Howe, by the officers of hisarmy, on quitting his command to return to Englan
