precious books is marked and growing. The great dealers abroad are sure of finding among us purchasers for their best wares.
A subject of the greatest interest to New Yorkers is the remarkable advance in the methods we now enjoy of caring for the ills of human flesh. Not only have a number of new hospitals arisen, all equipped with the best appliances modern science can devise, but since 1880 the ambulance system and the trained nurse system have been brought to a pitch of excellence greatly assisting the skilled work of our surgeons or physicians.
In 1891 the New York Hospital - the Dean of our Hospital Faculty - added to its already spacious and imposing array of buildings a new edifice, to contain a library, a pathological museum, and a training school for women nurses, whose present quarters are as attractive as architec- tural finish and improved sanitation can make them.
In 1893 the corner-stone was laid on a site adjoining the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, in Morningside Avenue, for the new St. Luke's Hospital; and already the old buildings familiar to New Yorkers by that name have vanished from their place at Fifty-fourth Street and Fifth Avenue. The administration building of the new hospital bears the honored name of the founder, the Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg. In March, 1896, the Norrie Pavilion was opened on the new site, with one hundred and twelve beds, and the rest of the work there goes rapidly on.
The cluster of Vanderbilt charities, beginning with the College of Physicians and Surgeons contributed by the late William H. Vanderbilt, was continued by the erection, at the expense of his four sons, of the Vanderbilt Clinic opened in 1888; and the Sloane Maternity Hospital, added in 1886-87, by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Douglas Sloane, the latter a daughter of William H. Vanderbilt, challenges special attention, fur- nished as it is with everything needful for the best treatment and for sanitation as a hospital for women, its beds made free in perpetuity.
Among other benefactions by individuals here for the better practice of the healing art is that incalculable blessing to New York and the whole country, the training school for nurses at Bellevue Hospital, erected near the hospital by Mrs. William H. Osborne. Within the grounds of Bellevue stand also the training school for male nurses built in 1888 by D. O. Mills, and the Carnegie Laboratory, a gift of Andrew Carnegie. At Bellevue may also be found the Townsend Pavilion, Library, and Chapel, a thank-offering of the late Mrs. R. H. L. Townsend upon recovery from illness, and several other structures vir- tually renewing the youth of this ancient and honorable institution. In

HISTORY OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
1890 an addition was made to the Roosevelt Hospital - in itself a grand memorial of a citizen's generosity - of the McLane operating room, given by the president of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in memory of his son, a young student who had recently died at Yale University.
In 1889 the Presbyterian Hospital, founded by James Lenox, was damaged by fire, with the result that a new series of handsome build- ings has arisen, having a dispensary tower in Madison Avenue, - itself a notable object to one who surveys the vicinity.
The New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital was opened in 1882, and serves the double purpose of a school for clinics and a hos- pital, including a babies' ward that has proved especially interesting to the feminine public. Hither come physicians and surgeons in active practice throughout the country, the old and the young, to be refreshed in their knowledge of methods of treatment of any and every malady, and to learn all that is new in the progress of their science or their art ; and great has been the benefit to the profession at large, - many of the attendants returning every two or three years to spend several weeks or months under the lecturers.
In 1882 the Sisters of the Poor of St. Francis inaugurated the use of their new St. Joseph's Hospital; ten years later another Catholic hospital was established at Spuyten Duyvil Heights, called the Seton Hospital for Consumptives, already mentioned. Both of these institu- tions are well built and well sustained. To the Mt. Sinai Hospital a handsome dispensary was annexed in 1890. In 1885 an emergency hospital, governed now by the Department of Public Charities, was established at Gouverneur Slip, on the East River. For the treatment of dangerous contagious diseases in the population of the city, was built in 1884 the Riverside Hospital, on North' Brother Island. Thither are sent also cases from quarantine; and, for temporary service of patients awaiting transportation, a reception hospital was erected in 1885.
For the special care of scarlet fever and diphtheria among the poor, the Willard Parker Hospital, on the East River at Sixteenth Street, was established in 1884; the great need for a similar establishment for patients of a better equipped purse has led to the consideration of another hospital for their use, to secure which Mrs. Minturn has taken the initiative.
Lebanon Hospital, occupying the old Ursuline Convent in West- chester, was started in 1891. To the Hahnemann Homeopathic Hos- pital substantial additions have been made within recent years. A small, well-kept hospital is St. Mark's, in Second Avenue, founded in 1890, and supported by voluntary offerings. In the same year the

Woman's Medical College of the New York Infirmary took possession of its premises in Stuyvesant Square. The Laura Franklin Free Hospital is a homœopathic institution for children, established in 1886, under charge of a Protestant Episcopal Sisterhood. In 1890 the old estab- lished New York Eye and Ear Infirmary added a new wing to the buildings it had before occupied. The New Amsterdam Eye and Ear Hospital, in West Thirty-eighth Street, was opened in 1888.
Two other important additions in late years to the city's list are the New York Skin and Cancer Hospital, for free service of the poor, and the New York Cancer Hospital, the latter representing a benefaction of the late Mrs. J. J. Astor. This fine, spacious, and beautifully mounted establishment combines all the best arrangements and facilities of the present day for the comfort of those to be served, and is intended chiefly for the free treatment of needy patients, though sufferers who can pay are also received and cared for. In 1888 St. Bartholomew's Hospital was established for free treatment of diseases of the skin. In 1892 the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York instituted a church dispensary for the immediate purpose of supplying medical aid and remedies to such worthy indigent people as can be discovered, who may be unwilling to apply to a general dispensary.
To further enumerate the hospitals, church associations, dispensaries, sanitariums, homes, aid societies and diet kitchens opened of late years in various portions of Manhattan Island, and all now in active service to the needy, is impossible here. Enough has been stated to show that New York is not only alert but eager in the cause of the health and phy- sical welfare of her great population. An average of seventy-five thou- sand patients are thus here treated annually free of charge, who receive all that the utmost efforts of the best skill allow the wealthy patient to command in his own home. Good beds, pure air, the latest surgical appliances, the best drugs, admirably trained nurses, the foremost phy- sicians and surgeons of the day, aided by young recruits from among the most efficient and distinguished of recent graduates of the best medical schools, - all are freely supplied to the poorest applicant at the gates of a great hospital, or at the door of either of many small ones. This is an inspiring thought, and a just occasion for proud comfort to the citizen who has at heart real civilization in the metropolis. Such insti- tutions seem to render unnecessary the special hospitals founded for and maintained by Germans, Frenchmen, Swiss, Norwegians, and others in New York of alien birth, - though the spirit that prompts to such pro- visions by foreigners for their own countrymen deserves all praise. Cer- tainly the immigrant who sees his vessel drop anchor under the beacon

of Bartholdi's light has nothing to complain of in the arrangements made, whether by his compatriots or by our own citizens, for the care of his health upon or after arrival.
Our tale now told, - although leaving much unsaid, - we commend to the reader a glance backward from the picture it presents to that of the little savage island clasped in the embrace of two great rivers, as described in the opening paragraph of Mrs. Lamb's History. What further development the years of the coming century may see New York attain, if measured by her achievement in the recent past, must surely satisfy the highest ambition of her citizens, and secure to their children the best rewards of modern civilized life.

ARTICLE I. The troops under Lieutenant-general Burgoyne to march out of their camp with the honors of war; and the artillery of the intrenchments to the verge of the river, where the old fort stood, where the arms and artillery are to be left. The arms to be piled by word of command from their own officers.
II. A free passage to be granted to the army under Lieutenant-general Bur- goyne to Great Britain, upon condition of not serving again in North America during the present contest ; and the port of Boston to be assigned for the entry of transports to receive the troops whenever General Howe shall so order.
III. Should any cartel take place, by which the army under General Bur- goyne, or any part of it, may be exchanged, the foregoing article to be void so far as such exchange shall be made.
IV. The army under Lieutenant-general Burgoyne is to march to Massachu- setts Bay, by the easiest and most expeditious and convenient route, and to be quartered in, near, or as convenient as possible to Boston, that the march of the troops may not be delayed, when transports arrive to receive them.
V. The troops to be supplied on the march, and during their being in quar- ters, with provisions by Major-general Gates's orders, at the same rate of rations as the troops of his own army ; and, if possible, the officers, horses, and cattle are to be supplied with forage at the usual rates.
VI. All officers to retain their carriages, bat horses, and other cattle, and no baggage to be molested or searched ; Lieutenant-general Burgoyne giving his honor that there are no public stores contained therein.

APPENDIX.
VII. Upon the march, and during the time the army shall remain in quar- ters in the Massachusetts Bay, the officers are not, as far as circumstances will admit, to be separated from their men. The officers are to be quartered accord- ing to their rank, and are not to be hindered from assembling their men for roll callings, and other necessary purposes of regularity.
VIII. All corps whatever of Lieutenant-general Burgoyne's army, whether composed of sailors, bateau-men, artificers, drivers, independent companies, and followers of the army, of whatever country, shall be included in the fullest sense and utmost extent of the above Articles, and comprehended in every respect as British subjects.
IX. All Canadians, and persons belonging to the Canadian establishment, consisting of sailors, bateau-men, artificers, drivers, independent companies, and many other followers of the army, who come under no particular description, are to be permitted to return there : they are to be conducted immediately, by the shortest route, to the first British post on Lake George ; are to be supplied with provisions in the same manner as the other troops, and to be bound by the same condition of not serving during the present contest in North America.
X. Passports to be immediately granted for three officers, not exceeding the rank of captains, who shall be appointed by Lieutenant-general Burgoyne to carry dispatches to Sir William Howe, Sir Guy Carleton, and to Great Britain, by the way of New York; and Major-general Gates engages the public faith that these dispatches shall not be opened. These officers are to be set out immediately after receiving their dispatches, and are to travel by the shortest route, and in the most expeditious manner.
XI. During the stay of the troops in Massachusetts Bay, the officers are to be admitted on parole, and are to be permitted to wear their side-arms.
XII. Should the army under Lieutenant-general Burgoyne find it necessary to send for their clothing and other baggage from Canada, they are to be per- mitted to do it in the most convenient manner ; and necessary passports to be granted for that purpose.
XIII. These Articles are to be mutually signed and exchanged to-morrow morning, at nine o'clock; and the troops under Lieutenant-general Burgoyne are to march out of their intrenchments at three o'clock in the afternoon.
HORATIO GATES, Major-General.
CAMP AT SARATOGA, October 16th, 1777.
To prevent any doubts that might arise from Lieutenant-general Burgoyne's name not being mentioned in the above treaty, Major-general Gates hereby declares, that he is understood to be comprehended in it as fully as if his name had been specifically mentioned.
