Included are speeches, toasts, and remarks from prominent figures, offering insights into Chittenden's professional achievements and personal character. The record provides a snapshot of the business community's values and social dynamics during the late 19th century. This historical document offers valuable primary source material for researchers interested in the history of American business, New York City, and the lives of influential merchants of the era.
