Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Either, Or The country to which we beg the reader to accompany us, bears the name of Occidentia. It is situated in the Western Hemisphere, and abounds with the most precious gifts of Nature. It is traversed by mighty mountain ranges, amongst which we mention the Purple, the Dogskill, the Stony and the Waterfall Mountains, and watered by grand watercourses, amongst which the Muddyfloody or Uncle of Waters, the Dove River and Shriver´s Run are conspicuous. Grain of every description, cotton and corn, cover its vast plains, while the grape-vine and fruit-trees of every kind adorn its slopes. Oil and gas stream from its bosom and minerals of inestimable value are hidden in its bowels. It is a confederacy of States, its capital Here we are interrupted by our readers, not in so many words, but by that arching of the brows and that knowing smile, so provoking to a writer who flatters himself to communicate something new. It is no use to proceed before we have humored this unmistakable sign on the part of our readers to make themselves heard, so we yield them the floor and ask politely, "Worthy masters, amiable dames, what is it you wish to say, or to state it more pointedly, what have you discovered? For your knowing smile surely means nothing less." "Oh, Mr. Scribbler, only this: The country you have so eloquently described, is nothing else than -" "The United States of North America, you would say? Please let us finish our pen pictures, and if you then insist upon having your say, or rather your way, we cannot hinder you, but must shift the consequences to your shoulders." Its Capital, whose name is Patropolis, contains some of the finest edifices in the world. Its monuments surpass in height and grandeur the Pyramids of Egypt and the Coliseum of Rome.
