[Transcriber's Note: The use of chapter, section, and page headers in this book was inconsistent. There are two chapters titled "Public Buildings" (starting P. 86 and P. 127). The chapters "Public Squares" (P. 181) and "Excursions" (P. 199) switched from a titled paragraph format used in the rest of the book to small cap beginnings for paragraphs (retained). In some cases, there were changes in topics with no corresponding change in section headings. To mark these topic changes, the transcriber placed additional thought breaks, not present in the original, at the following locations: P. 137 (Hotels); P. 144 (Works, Armories, Fire Department); P. 157 (Exchanges); and P. 169 (Galleries). The abbreviation "do" (used primarily in the index and routing tables) means "ditto." The Table of Contents at the beginning has been added by the transcriber; it was not present in the original. Remaining transcriber's notes are at the end of the text.] Page Preface v A BRIEF SKETCH OF THE DISCOVERY AND TERRITORIAL HISTORY OF LOUISIANA 7 THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 28 NEW ORLEANS 58 PUBLIC BUILDINGS 86 CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS 110 HOSPITALS 117 PUBLIC BUILDINGS 127 MANUFACTURES 150 AMUSEMENTS 176 PUBLIC SQUARES 181 THE OLDEN TIME 184 EXCURSIONS 191 TRAVELLING ROUTES 201 GENERAL INDEX 207 ADVERTISEMENTS 225 NORMAN'S NEW ORLEANS AND ENVIRONS: CONTAINING A BRIEF HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE TERRITORY AND STATE OF LOUISIANA, AND THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS, FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE PRESENT TIME: PRESENTING A COMPLETE GUIDE TO ALL SUBJECTS OF GENERAL INTEREST IN THE SOUTHERN METROPOLIS; WITH A CORRECT AND IMPROVED PLAN OF THE CITY, PICTORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS, ETC.
