Excerpt from The Coming CityThe present small volume has a modest purpose. It aims simply to point out tendencies in the past and present and to describe and illus trate the progress in the spirit of municipal reform. It consists of an address, accompanied by notes and illustrative material. The address has been delivered in several cities, and has elicited comments Which lead me to hope that in print it may prove helpful to those who would bring our urban life up to a higher plane.N o effort has been made to give credit to others for aid received. Aid has come from many books and articles, but especially from the book of life, - in other words, long-continued observation.
