Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Emigrants´ Guide to the United States of America: Containing Introductory Remarks; Correspondence From Working Men Who Have Emigrated; Farmers´ Life and Circumstances; Climate; Health; Dispositions and Manners of the People; Manufacture; Trade and Commerce, Agriculture; Animals, &C In laying before the Emigrant public the following pamphlet, it is but justice to state, that whatever merit it possesses - and we trust it will be found useful, if not possessing merit - the whole of that merit has arisen from, and is the result of, the research and indefatigable exertions and enquiries of a number of individuals, who, convinced that all efforts honestly bestowed, and exertions made to produce comfort here, would now, more than at any former period, prove useless and abortive, and therefore, they had turned their attention to the subject of emigration. To the end of procuring the very best information on this all absorbing topic, the persons here concerned have been most fortunately circumstanced; for, besides being favoured with the opinions of the best and most modern writers on America, - besides having access to numerous letters from residents of that country, who have emigrated at various periods, say from one to upwards of twenty years before this time, - and that all these opinions, generally favourable, might he tested, and only passed for their real value; they had the very great happiness of the acquaintance and society of a gentleman who had resided and farmed in the western states of America for a number of years, and who had not been less, altogether, than twenty-three years in that country. They had the company of this gentleman, who devoted one evening every week to answering questions on the subject of means of living, &c., in America, in a public room where hundreds attended, and this for a great portion of the winter; that gentleman having so journeyed here, with a view of again taking up his residence, and expending his American earned money in his native land; but finding the air so much keener than what it was when he left, (rather as the party favoured supposed from a republican corrupted constitution,) he determined to return.
