Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Humpy Dumpy, or the Corner Grocery
The children who played with each other on Columbia Street took great delight in frequent ing this part of the city. The high picket-fence, though it prevented their entering the garden, did not hinder them from looking at the beau tiful flowers, nor from smelling the delightful fragrance which was wafted by the winds towards the street. Indeed, to many of these children, this garden was the only green spot upon which their eyes rested during the whole year. Tho wonders that it was a favorite place? W'ho wonders that the poorer children of the city, whose back-yards were covered with paving stones and reeking with filth, delighted to come to this aristocratic part of the city, and feast their eyes upon the beautiful plants and inhale the sweet perfume of Dr. Heminway's garden?
