This booklet discusses the viability of a bridge to be built connecting Manhattan Island with Long Island by William Trowbridge, Vice President of the Novelty Iron Works. Many proposals linking the two islands were first made as early as 1838 with the final design approved by the Department of Bridges in 1903, completed in 1909 and named Queensboro Bridge. Paper covers, 11 pp. of text, two profile views of the bridge design and a small map that shows the proposed bridge crossing:

C. General Elevation of Bridge Across the East River at Blackwells Island According to a Plan Proposed by W. P. Trowbridge.
