Excerpt from Asmodeus; Or, the Iniquities of New York: Being a Complete Expose of the Crimes, Doings and Vices, as Exhibited in the Haunts of Gamblers and Houses of Prostitution, Both in High and Low Life
A work entitled "Asmodeus, or Legends of New York," having made its appearance a few weeks since, which caused no small excitement in our quiet city, and the author of that work having promised a sequel - which to this time has not appeared - therefore the present publishers having been offered the Ms. of this work, thought from the character of the same, it would in one sense carry out the original design of the author of "Asmodeus." It will not be necessary for the publishers to make a comparison between the two, as it regards literary points of view - all we have to say is that the "Iniquities of New York" is written by an author of acknowledged talent. In regard to the merits of the work as a true vehicle of the Iniquities of our great city, the reader has only to read this work and he will see that the author of "Asmodeus," or "Mysteries and Miseries of New York" knew but little of what he professed to write a great deal about.
