Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glimpses of Our American Kith and Kin In this little work I have avoided all controversial topics, such as politics, the temperance question, &c. What I have attempted to relate is of things only on the surface, and at best the "glimpses" are but rapid, hasty "snapshots"; nevertheless the impressions fell on a receptive plate, and such as they are, are here printed off. Let me explain why they are "printed off." Having expressed to some scores of friends, both Trans-Atlantic and Cis-Atlantic, the pleasing impressions I had received while visiting the States, I was met everywhere by the remark, "Why do you not publish them? I am sure it would do much good." As I could not however think that anything I might write would have any influence, I put that thought to one side; but my heart being full of America and our American "Kith and Kin," (I speak of all classes) and of their kindness and courtesy, and of all else that enlists sympathy and regard, it became a matter of compulsion and of relief to write these pages, which I commend to the kind indulgence of my readers. If one is grateful one ought to say so. I trust that many of my friends, who may see this, will take it as an expression of my gratitude to them, for the great consideration we received at their hands during our enjoyable visit. For a time - as I write this - a cloud has seemed to darken the sky, and sad thoughts have passed through my heart, which have filled it with deep grief: but let us fervently hope and devoutly trust - "That the falling out of friends Is the renewing but of love." and that peace and amity, good fellowship and charity, in their widest and fullest sense, may ever exist between us and our "American Kith and Kin."
