Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vignettes of Manhattan It is because of this common regard for our strange and many sided city that I am giving myself the pleasure of pro 'ering to you this little volume of vignettes. They are not stories really, I am afraid - not sketches even, nor studies; they are, I think, just what 1 have called them - vignettes. And there are a dozen of them, one for every month in the year, an urban calendar of times and seasons. Such as they are, I beg that you will accept them in token of my friendship and esteem and that you will believe me, always.
