Excerpt from Descriptive Guide to Philip Phillips' Illuminated Tours and Illustrated Songs: Describing His Personal Tours Around the World and Throughout Twenty Countries

Broadway. Travelers say there is none other like it! It bustles with life and a Babel of noises. Up from the Battery it throbs, pierced three miles away with the tapering marble spire of Grace Church.

City fire scene. The heavens aglow! The instant rumble of engines and rushing ladder companies, but protection is ample with 51 gines, hook' and ladder companies, and over 800 skilled firemen.

Night scene. The ¿ames leaping from windows and roofs. Triumph of the color artist. The awful and beautiful effect.
