“Dickens’s visit to Five Points made it fashionable for well-to-do New Yorkers to go “slumming,” visiting Five Points as Dickens had done, with a police escort, to marvel at its poverty and gawk at its displays of vice. Indeed, the term “slumming” may have been coined there to describe such tours.”

“Every American must feel a thrill of pride and gratitude in the thought that his country is the refuge of the oppressed, . . . and however wretched be the material offered to him from the refuse of other nations, he accepts it with generous hospitality.”
