American cities have been built on... regular plan, modified a little according to... natural surroundings,.. streets in... American cities, instead of having... names, are numbered, and so when one has once understood... plan of... American city, it is very easy to find one's way from one part of it to... other.... old part of... New York lies in... southern half of... Manhattan Island, and there... streets are narrow and twisted, as in... towns of.... old world. But... rest of... streets, with but few exceptions, all run in... straight lines. There is street in... city, however, that does not follow... straight line. And that is Broadway,... New York's most famous street. It starts within sight of... dancing waters of... harbour and runs between tall skyscrapers in... north-western direction. This great street is... longest in... world.

Europe made... long journeys into... centre but they met with... terrible difficulties, for... continent is covered with... forests full of... fearful wild animals. Some travellers died of.., hunger or... thirst or... strange illnesses,... others were killed by... lions, still... others by... natives; but nevertheless bold men were found ready to go along... rivers into... heart of... Africa. The merchants who came from... European countries had much to sell, and here were... millions of... people ready to buy; here was... country,... richness of which was unimaginable.
