This work presents an examination of the growth and significance of New York City as a commercial hub, discussing its development from a secondary ranking city into one of the foremost trading centers in the world, particularly after the peace of 1785. Cooper reflects on the city’s prospects and challenges while addressing contemporary issues surrounding commerce, society, and politics. In "New York", Cooper analyzes the city's rise, attributing its success to its favorable natural location and the vigor of its commercial activities. He contrasts New York's growth with that of other American cities and discusses the city's unique characteristics, including its architectural landscape and social dynamics. The narrative also touches upon the political climate of the time, particularly the issues relating to slavery, state sovereignty, and the impending Civil War. Cooper expresses concern over the political divisions threatening national unity and the potential adverse effects on commerce. Ultimately, he offers a vision of New York's future, suggesting that its economic prowess would position it alongside leading European capitals, despite the existing challenges posed by contemporary political and social issues.
