NEW YORK BY SUNLIGHT AND GASLIGHT by James McCabe, the actual 1881 edition. Not a history but more of a travel book about one of the world's most important cities written around the time the Statue Of Liberty and the city's railway system were installed. A few slow spots but on the whole fascinating.
