Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn. And yet it is distinctly an American triumph. American genius designed it, American skill built it, and American workshops made it. About 1837 the Screw Dock across the river, then known as the Hydrostatic Lifting Dock, was built. In order to construct it the Americans of that day were obliged to have the cylinders cast in England. What a stride from 1837 to 1883—from the Hydrostatic Dock to the New York and Brooklyn Bridge! What is the purpose of the subjective language in this excerpt? to remind the people of New Your City that they did not build the bridge to inspire the people of New York to build another bridge soon to thank the English for their help in earlier construction projects to make the people of New York feel pride in the construction of the new bridge.
