Riassunto

Excerpt from Market Book, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing a Historical Account of the Public Markets in the Cities of New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn; With a Brief Description of Every Article of Human Food Sold Therein

In my case, being found here, so much out of my line, I do not know under which, or how many, of the above heads to place myself; and I must therefore leave the reader to judge, and determine my position from his own estimate of my merit.

For several years, the unemployed hours from my business, or rather profession, had hung heavily on my mind, and to fill them up satisfactorily, was a thought I had often indulged in. To be sure, at times, there were no leisure hours, not one of the twenty-four, but what were needed for rest; and again, one, two, three, and sometimes four, could be employed in doing something, either useful or wasteful; but what to do, was the question. I knew I had some knowledge, which business and observation had given me; but I also knew that I was very deficient in learning, or at least of knowing how to ex press myself, satisfactorily to myself. So I thought to improve, or at least to inform myself, even at this late day; but the reader may say, An old scholar is not an apt one-and so I found it. I had the disadvantage of not knowing which end to begin with, but went headforemost into what appeared to me to be the most agree able to my feelings.
