Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address Delivered by Abram S. Hewitt, on the Occasion of the Opening of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge: May 24th, 1883
This primeval scene was the product of natural forces working through uncounted periods of time the continent slowly rising and falling in the sea like the heaving breast of a world asleep; glaciers carving patiently through ages the deep estuaries; seasons innumerable clothing the hills with alter nate bloom and decay.
