“ In New-York, there are a number of Market Houses. Those called Fulton and Washington Markets are the largest. Fulton Market is at the East end of Fulton-street, near the East River, and the Washington Market is on the West end, near the North River. ”

“ There were coops of chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea hens, bantas, and even quails alive! We have not room to add pictures of all these: but we will one. See here is a gobble turkey, who looks as if he was ready to [15] fly at any body dressed in red. ”

“ Away they went through Franklin Square, down Pearl-street to Peck-slip, then turning into Water-street, they came to Fulton-street, at the foot of which stands the market.
See here they are all going towards the market.
Fulton Market is a large building, filling up a whole [6] square, and is erected near the East River, opposite the town of Brooklyn, and close to the ferry that crosses over to that thriving village. ”
