Excerpt...
The Philadelphia into which Frank Algernon Cowperwood was born was a city of two hundred and fifty thousand and more. It was set with handsome parks, notable buildings, and crowded with historic memories. Many of the things that we and he knew later were not then in existence--the telegraph, telephone, express company, ocean steamer, city delivery of mails. There were no postage-stamps or registered letters.
