FOOTNOTES:
[1] This house is known by three different names.
[2] On Plate XXXIII is presented a modern adaptation of the Carlyle
house at Alexandria, which may convey to the reader some faint
suggestion of the pleasantness of the original in the hey-day of its
prosperity.
[3] It was some new kind of love Julia hoped to invent.
[4] A kind of looking-glass peculiar to Philadelphia and usually
attached to a second-story window, whereby the occupants of a house may
“keep tab” of not only whatever is occurring up and down street, but of
whoever is bold enough, under the circumstances, to ring the front door
bell.
[5] The panic of 1837 broke the boom for a while, but it was
practically rehabilitated by the inauguration of Harrison in 1841.
