Philadelphia, the second city in size in 'he United States, stands between the Delaware and Schuylkill ri ers, five miles above their junction, in lat. 39° 57' N. and long. 75° 10' 59" from Greenwich, and is about 120 miles distant from the Atlantic ocean by the course of the river. The city was founded by William Penn, in the year 1682. The original design of the pro- prietor would have covered an area of more than twelve square miles, but by his charter of 17U1, the plot of the city was contracted and declared to be bounded by the two rivers, an extent of about two miles east and west, and on the north and south by Vine and Cedar streets, an extent of about one mile. But the progress of im- provements, long since broke beyond these limited boundaries, and now we bthold the city compactly built along the Delawore nearly four miles, though for municipal purposes, the boundaries of the city proper remain unaltered. The city is divided into the follow, ing districts : — the corporations of the city of Phila- delphia, of the Northern Liberties, Kensington, Spring Garden, Soulhwark and Moyamensing. The whole number of streets in the city and districts, is about six hundred, varying much in width, Arch street being sixty feet, Market street one hundred, Broad street one hundred and thirteen, while others .ire much narrower 1* PUBLIC SQUARES. The various public squares, reserved in the original plan of the city, evince the foresight ind judgment of William Penn. They are not only conducive to health, by promoting a free circulation of air, but are pleasant places for recreation to the citizens, during the heat of the summer. Independence Square, which extends from Chesnut street to Walnut street, and from Fifth to Sixth streets, is tastefully laid out in gravelled walks, delightfully shaded by indigenous and exotic trees, and enclosed by a substantial iron railing. It is thrown open to the public as a promenade, and is a place of general resort. This square is 398 feet from east to west, and 470 feet from north to south. Washington Square, extends from Sixth street to Washington street, 456 feet, and fr >m Walnut street to Locust street, 370 feet. This square was formerly Potter's Field, but is now laid out in delightful walks, and is planted with a variety of beautiful trees. It is surrounded by a row of flourishing Linden trees, planted on a line with the curbstone of the street, and is also a place of general resort. Franklin Square lies between Race and Vine- streets, and Sixth and Franklin streets. Its extent from north to south is 632 feet, and from east to west 600 feet. It is also handsomely laid out in gravelled walks, planted with trees, and thrown open to the public. Penn Square, formerly called Centre Square, is at the intersection" of Broad and High streets. This space, though formerly entire, was in 1828, by order of Coun- cils, cut into four distinct squares, which have not yet been thrown open as public walks. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. ' Logan Square extends from Race to Vine street, and from Schuylkill Fifth street, westward, This square is not yet improved. Rittenhouse Square is of the same dimensions as Logan Square, and lies between Walnut and Ann streets, extending westward from Schuylkill Fifth street, be- yond Schuylkill Fourth street. Not yet improved. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 7'he State House. — The circumstance of the Con- , gress of the United States having held its deliberations within these walls, and the Declaration of Independ- ence having been first publicly read from the steps, July 4, 1776, gives an interest to this building. It was com- menced in the year 1729, and finished in 1735, and though externally plain, has a venerable appearance. The whole original expense was not quite six thousand pounds. The s steeple by which it wa'i formerly sur- mounted was taken down abc ut the close of the revolu- tion, but in 1828, a new one was erected, in order to restore as nearly as practicable this venerable building to its original features. It stands on Chesnut street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, and though formerly isolated, the whole square is now occupied bj public buildings. Bank'of the United States. — This splendid building, which is composed externally of marble, stands on Chesnut street, between Fourth airid Fifth streets. The foundation stone was laid April 19, 1819, and the building was completed in August, 1824. It is mo- delled after the Parthenon, at Athens. b PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Bank of Pennsylvania. — This building has frequently been pronounced the chastest specimen of Grecian architecture in the country. The design is taken from the temple of Minerva, at Athens. The whole building is composed of Pennsylvania marble. The first stone was laid in April, 1799, and the whole finished in 1801. It stands on Second street, between Chesnut and Wal- nut streets New Exchange. — This splendid building is one of the finest ornaments of Philadelphia. It excites the atten- tion, and commands the admiration of our citizens and of strangers, while it reflects credit upon the enter- prising stockholders, as well as upon the architect who planned it. The Exchange occupies a lot of ground bounded by Third, Walnut and Dock streets. The first floor is divided off into the Post Office, a Coffee Room and Bar Room, Stock Broker's Offices, and seve- ral offices of Insurance Companies. The Reading Room, on the second floor, is spacious and convenient. It is under the superintendence of J. Coffee, Esq. a gentle- man well calculated for the situation. The Arcade stands on Chesnut street, west of Sixth street, 100 feet front, and extends north 150 feet to Carpenter street. The first story is occupied as stores and shops, the second as offices, and the third by Pealc's Museum of Natural Curiosities. The cellars are occu- pied as refectories. This building, which is of white marble, was erected in 1826-7. The University and Medical College Halls stand in Ninth street, between Market and Chesnut streets, and are each 85 feet front, by 112 feet deep. Erected in 1830-'31. The Mint stands on Chesnut street, near Broad street. It is of he Ionic order, built of white marble. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 9 presenting a front of 122 feet. It was commenced in 182). Pennsylvania Hospital, occupies an entire square be- tween Spruce and Pine streets, and Eighth and Ninth streets, containing about four acres. The institution was founded in 1750, and in 1755 the east wing of the present commodious building was erected, since which many additions have been made. In the yard fronting on Pine street, is a leaden statue, bronzed, of William Penn, on a marble pedestal, who is represented holding a scroll, having part of the first sentence of the "Charter of Privileges," inscribed on it. This statue was present- ed by John Penn, of London, to the Hospital, in the year*180 I. The Marine Asylum stands on the eastern bank of the Schuylkill, a short distance south of the city line. It is 388 feet long, consisting of a portico 90 feet, sup- ported by 8 Ionic columns, and two wings each 148 feet. The Alms House. A splendid and spacious building for the reception of the poor, stands on the western bank of the Schuylkill, opposite Cedar street. It was com- menced in 1831. Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb is a spacious building, constructed of granite, located on the west side of Broad street, near Pine street. The whole front is 96 feet 6 inches, and 63 feet deep. The foundation was laid in May, 1824. The Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania. The external appearance of this building conveys a vivid idea of the magnificent castles of Europe during the middle ages. The walls are 12 feet thick at the base, and the principal front 670 feet in length. The ground occu- 10 PUBLIC BUILDINGS. pied by it contains about ten acres. The corner stone was laid May 22, 1823. Surrounded by massy walls, stands the building for the confinement of convicts, from the centre of which diverge the cells, which are pierced throughout their whole length by galleries. A rotunda in the centre, occupied by the superintendent, enables him to overlook the whole interior of the prison. Small yards are attached to each cell, where the prisoners are permitted to enjoy the air and exercise for two hours every day. No communication is allowed between the convicts, nor are strangers permitted to see or visit them. Each oc- cupies his separate c^ll, which contains an iron frame for his bed, a loom or other implements for the labour which has been assigned him, a chair, table, and every appliance to ensure the utmost possible cleanliness. Such as can read are furnished with a Bible, while every Sunday a chaplain preaches in the gallery, and is dis- tinctly heard by the inmates of every cell. By means of flues, an equal and sufficient heat is kept up in tne coldest weather. Although this system is a new expe- riment in prison discipline, it already promises to be attended with the happiest results. The criminal in silence and solitude, has an opportunity of looking back upon the errors which have thus degraded him, and comes back into the world, doubly armed to resist the temptations which have misled him. The Water Works— ^-Of all her public works, Phila- delphia has most reason to be proud of that by which the Schuylkill water has been introduced throughout the city. In 1797, a plan was adopted which was to form a reservoir on the east bank of the Schuylkill, from which water was to be thrown by a steam engine into a tunnel, and thence carried to another engine house, at the centre of the city, whe re it was to be Us? op public buildings, &c* ii again raised by a second engine into a reservoir, from Which it was to be distributed in pipes through the city. Ten years experience proved that a sufficient supply could not be obtained by this method; accordingly, in 1811, anew reservoir was created, and two large en- gines constructed, which, however, proved inadequate to supply the demand. In 1819, the project of damming the Schuylkill, and erecting the works at Fair Mount was commenced, the whole cost of which was in 1824, $432,5 12, and the entire amount expended on the suc- cessive operation, $1,443,585.
