The population of little Italy, back on Third street,\nis taking its weekly airing at the feet of their beloved Gari-\nbaldi on the Square, the buses bring joy riders from the far\nnorth points of the city; and I think—how wonderful is life.\nFrom 1789 to 1823 Washington Square was a potter's field\n—where the fountains, Washington's Memorial Arch, asphalt-\ned walks and the homes of many aristocrats stand, the poorest\nof the poor of our city were once buried in nameless graves\nby the thousands.\nNumber 58 Washington Square, the corner of West Third\nStreet, formerly Amity Street, an old time fashionable thor-\noughfare, is the most forlorn looking two-story frame build-\ning that can be found in Greater New York. It saw its best\ndays when the horse-drawn street cars were in vogue.\nHistorians of Manhattan Island have known that Wash-\nington Square in its early years, was the burial field of the\npoorest of the city. But no chronicler has ever told the name\nof the grave-digger. Hidden away in the records of the Title\nGuarantee & Trust Company is his name. Daniel Magie. And\nmore than the name is the interesting fact that in 1819 he\npurchased from John Ireland, one of the big merchants, the\ncorner plot, now 58 Washington Square South, 21 x 80 feet,\nthe same dimensions to-day. For this little plot $500 was\npaid, and there very likely, Mr. Megie built a wooden shack,\nwhere he could keep his wooden tools and sleep.\nThe potter's field had formerly been on Union Square. A\nlittle before 1819 the latter was fitted up more appropriately\nas a park, and the potter's burying ground moved westward\nto Washington Square, then an out-of-the-way part of the\ncity. For three years Daniel Megie held the official position\nof keeper of the potter's field, and as such his name appears\nin the directories of 1819, 1820 and 1821. Then the square was\nabandoned as a burial place and the potter's field moved\nnorthward again to Bryant Park. Mr. Megie by this change\nevidently lost his job, for in 1821 he sold his Washington\nSquare corner to Joseph Dean, and two years later the latter\nsold it for $850. It was about ten years later before prices\nshowed any great advance. Then fashion captured the park,\nand. despite the enormous growth northward, the aroma of\nfashion still nermeates the square, and the fine old fashioned\nhouses on the north side continue to be occupied by some\nof the first families of the city.\nIt is a singular fact and one that the old real estate rec-\nords do not explain, that this our corner was never fully\nimproved. It is still covered for its depth of eighty feet with\ntwo-story wooden buildings, the corner being an ice cream\nstore, and they present a decidedly incongruous appearance\nby the side of the fine old houses adjoining."}, {"page_pdf": 12, "page_imprimee": "560", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaaq19160318-01.1.12", "debut_caractere": 16, "fin_caractere_exclue": 2906, "texte": "Tradition in the neighborhood states that these wooden\nbuildings were once a tavern and one of the staere headquar-\nters in the days of the early stage lines.

In 1867 John de\nRuyter bought it for $14,650, and then Samuel McCreery\nacquired it in 1882 for $13,500—showing a lower valuation.\nEarly in the past century, John Ireland, who sold the cor-\nner to the grave-digger, owned the entire plot of about 100\nfeet front on the square, extending through to Third Street,\nthen knwon as Amity Street. The fifty foot plot adjoining\nthe corner is now occupied by two fine old houses similar in\narchitecture to those on the north side of the square.

The\nman who has difficulty in obtaining a publisher and who\nthinks his message important enough to impart it to the\nworld at any cost, has a right or better, the duty, to publish\na magazine of his own. But also it is his duty to stop pub-\nlishing his magazine instantly if his song is sung, if his\nstories are told and his message sent into the world.\nIt was shortly after my arrival in Greenwich Village that\nI met Kreymborg, that I read those poems of his which no\none wanted to recognize as such. I published his little vol-\nume of \"Mushrooms\" as one of the early issues of Bruno\nChap Books. I sent it out into the world as a challenge to\nour household poets and to our manufacturers of jingles.\n\"Mushrooms\" was discussed all over the country. Para-\ngraphers found in its pages a welcome repast which they\nserved hashed and toasted to their readers, over and over\nagain.\nKreymborg has been a philosopher for years. He has the\ngift to see the detail in life. He found his own solution of\nthe most mysterious riddles of the universe. He found it in\nthe every-day life of man. He is an artist. Words are his\nmaterial; he expresses philosophy, evolution, temperament,\nmoods through the rhythm of his words. The words are his\nstatements. The rhythm is his color, his composition—\nshortly life.\nBut he ventured out of his world. He left the quiet seclu-\nsion and went out into the community of men. They were\nwaiting for him. They, too, had words and rhythm. But\nnothing else. They were enthusiasts or faddists—they knew\nnot life.\nKreymborg took them under his wings. He neerlected his\nown art and was the champion of other people's fanciful\nmachinations. He established friendly intercourse with those\npoets across the water who are doing things in their own\nway—but nobody else could do it in their own way but\nthey themselves. Kreymborg founded a magazine. And\nfurther and further did he drift away from his own self.\nYes, there are good things to be found on the pages of\n\"Others.\" But what has Kreymborg to do with all that? The\nKreymborg who wrote \"Mushrooms\" and \"Erna Vietek\"?\nLast Tuesday he gave a reading in the Washington Square\nBookshop. He did not read his own poems, he interpreted\nthe words of others, of those others whose godfather he\nhad been during the past year.\nA poetry reading in a large city is like a cool, white foun-\ntain in the hot dry desert.\nThe doors wide open, a few chairs and everybody welcome.\nAnd the man on the platform or in the midst of the listeners\nreading his own poems.

And the real Kreymborg was muffled and\nsilent; Kreymborg the publisher was the champion of his\nauthors.\nBut I see the time in the near future that Kreymborg the\npublisher will have been thrown out of house and home by\nKreymborg the poet; and then the year 1914-15 will have\nbeen put on the high shelf of experience and of memories.\nAnd we will listen again to Kreymborg the poet.\nThe Little Review\nMargaret C.

It is Sunday. The lawns on the\nSquare are covered with mud, mud that had intended to be\nsnow, will soon be soft green and the trees budding with\nnew life. The population of little Italy, back on Third street,\nis taking its weekly airing at the feet of their beloved Gari-\nbaldi on the Square, the buses bring joy riders from the far\nnorth points of the city; and I think—how wonderful is life.\nFrom 1789 to 1823 Washington Square was a potter's field\n—where the fountains, Washington's Memorial Arch, asphalt-\ned walks and the homes of many aristocrats stand, the poorest\nof the poor of our city were once buried in nameless graves\nby the thousands.\nNumber 58 Washington Square, the corner of West Third\nStreet, formerly Amity Street, an old time fashionable thor-\noughfare, is the most forlorn looking two-story frame build-\ning that can be found in Greater New York. It saw its best\ndays when the horse-drawn street cars were in vogue.\nHistorians of Manhattan Island have known that Wash-\nington Square in its early years, was the burial field of the\npoorest of the city. But no chronicler has ever told the name\nof the grave-digger. Hidden away in the records of the Title\nGuarantee & Trust Company is his name. Daniel Magie. And\nmore than the name is the interesting fact that in 1819 he\npurchased from John Ireland, one of the big merchants, the\ncorner plot, now 58 Washington Square South, 21 x 80 feet,\nthe same dimensions to-day. For this little plot $500 was\npaid, and there very likely, Mr. Megie built a wooden shack,\nwhere he could keep his wooden tools and sleep.\nThe potter's field had formerly been on Union Square. A\nlittle before 1819 the latter was fitted up more appropriately\nas a park, and the potter's burying ground moved westward\nto Washington Square, then an out-of-the-way part of the\ncity. For three years Daniel Megie held the official position\nof keeper of the potter's field, and as such his name appears\nin the directories of 1819, 1820 and 1821. Then the square was\nabandoned as a burial place and the potter's field moved\nnorthward again to Bryant Park. Mr. Megie by this change\nevidently lost his job, for in 1821 he sold his Washington\nSquare corner to Joseph Dean, and two years later the latter\nsold it for $850. It was about ten years later before prices\nshowed any great advance. Then fashion captured the park,\nand. despite the enormous growth northward, the aroma of\nfashion still nermeates the square, and the fine old fashioned\nhouses on the north side continue to be occupied by some\nof the first families of the city.\nIt is a singular fact and one that the old real estate rec-\nords do not explain, that this our corner was never fully\nimproved. It is still covered for its depth of eighty feet with\ntwo-story wooden buildings, the corner being an ice cream\nstore, and they present a decidedly incongruous appearance\nby the side of the fine old houses adjoining."}, {"page_pdf": 12, "page_imprimee": "560", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaaq19160318-01.1.12", "texte": "BRUNO'S WEEKLY\n\nTradition in the neighborhood states that these wooden\nbuildings were once a tavern and one of the staere headquar-\nters in the days of the early stage lines. In 1825, Alfred S.\nPell, of the well known family, bought the plot for $1,000. In\n1850 his heirs sold it to Frederick E. Richards and he trans-\nferred it to Peter Gilsey in 1897 for $9,100. In 1867 John de\nRuyter bought it for $14,650, and then Samuel McCreery\nacquired it in 1882 for $13,500—showing a lower valuation.\nEarly in the past century, John Ireland, who sold the cor-\nner to the grave-digger, owned the entire plot of about 100\nfeet front on the square, extending through to Third Street,\nthen knwon as Amity Street. The fifty foot plot adjoining\nthe corner is now occupied by two fine old houses similar in\narchitecture to those on the north side of the square. Each\ncover a twenty-five foot lot, being 59 and 60 Washington\nSquare, respectively. The latter is known as the Angelsea\nand has for years been a home for artists. The plot at 59 was\nalso sold in 1819 by John Ireland for $500 to James Sedge-\nberg, a drayman, and it included the use of the 19 foot alley-\nway on Thompson Street, now covered by a three story brick\nhouse.

But also it is his duty to stop pub-\nlishing his magazine instantly if his song is sung, if his\nstories are told and his message sent into the world.\nIt was shortly after my arrival in Greenwich Village that\nI met Kreymborg, that I read those poems of his which no\none wanted to recognize as such. I published his little vol-\nume of \"Mushrooms\" as one of the early issues of Bruno\nChap Books. I sent it out into the world as a challenge to\nour household poets and to our manufacturers of jingles.\n\"Mushrooms\" was discussed all over the country.

He has the\ngift to see the detail in life. He found his own solution of\nthe most mysterious riddles of the universe. He found it in\nthe every-day life of man. He is an artist. Words are his\nmaterial; he expresses philosophy, evolution, temperament,\nmoods through the rhythm of his words. The words are his\nstatements. The rhythm is his color, his composition—\nshortly life.\nBut he ventured out of his world. He left the quiet seclu-\nsion and went out into the community of men. They were\nwaiting for him. They, too, had words and rhythm. But\nnothing else. They were enthusiasts or faddists—they knew\nnot life.\nKreymborg took them under his wings. He neerlected his\nown art and was the champion of other people's fanciful\nmachinations. He established friendly intercourse with those\npoets across the water who are doing things in their own\nway—but nobody else could do it in their own way but\nthey themselves.
