This most fortunate event, which is happily com-\\nmemorated in the emblematic seal of the city, with its\\nmottoes of Besurget Cineribiis, she rises from the ashes,\\nand Speramus Meliora, we hope for better times, gave\\nus an entirely new plan for the city, with streets and\\navenues and a Campus Martins and Grand Circus that\\nwill be an honor to the city, and a joy and delight for\\na thousand years and more.\\nThe French habitans protested vociferously and vigor-\\nously against the innovations of the newer plan, declaring\\nthat the lots above the present city hall would never be", "height": "3413", "width": "2044", "jp2-path": "detroitin1890com00farm_0013.jp2"}, "14": {"fulltext": "6 TRELUDE.\\nbuilt upoD, and were only fit for pasturage.
