Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diary in America, Vol. 1 of 2: With Remarks on Its Institutions After many years of travel, during which I had seen men under almost every variety of government, religion, and climate, I looked round to discover if there were not still new combinations under which human nature was to be investigated. I had traversed the old Continent until satisfied, if not satisfied; and I had sailed many a weary thousand miles form west to east, and from to south, until people, manners, and customs were looked upon by me with indifference. The press was constantly pouring out works upon the new world, so contradictory to each other, and pronounced so unjust by the Americans, that my curiosity was excited. It appeared strange to me that travellers whose work showed evident marks of talent should view the same people through such very different mediums; and that their gleanings should, generally speaking, be of such merge materials. Was there so little to be remarked about America, its government, its institutes, and its the effect which this had upon the people, that the pages of so many writers, upon the country should be filled up with, how the Americans dined or drank wine, and what descriptions of spoons and forks were used at table? Either the Americans remained purely and unchangedly English, as when they left their father-land; or the questions required more investigation and deeper research than travellers in their hasty movements had been able bestow upon it.
