ANDREW H. GREEN 



the Father of Greater New York, this book is respectfully dedicated 

 in recognition of the fact that he was Central Park's best friend from 

 the time of its inception and because he was always and ever the loyal 

 and powerful support of the author in his endeavours to protect the Park 

 from ill-judged and injurious invasions.
