The Central Park : Photographed, With Descriptions and a Historical Sketch (Classic Reprint) (9780484176941)



Excerpt from The Central Park: Photographed, With Descriptions and a Historical Sketch It is necessary here to amend the sketch of the history of the Park, by adding one interesting fact, which was not at hand until after the work had gone to press. This is, that the merit of iirst suggesting this great public work, instead of being of doubtful ownership, belongs to the thoughtful and musical Poet, the practical, clear-headed, and strong-minded Editor, and fearless and thorough-going friend of humanity and freedom, William Cullen Bryant. In a letter from Eng land to The Evening Post, dated June 24, 1845, Mr. Bryant, citing the example of the London Parks, urged forcibly the establishment of a range of parks and public gardens along the central part of the island or elsewhere and afterwards repeatedly discussed and advocated the project in the Post.
