Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Traveller; Or Guide Through the United States: Containing Brief Notices of the Several States, Cities, Principal Towns, Canals and Rail Roads, &C., With Tables of Distances, by Stage, Canal and Steam Boat Routes Brevity being an essential quality in a book designed for the pocket of the traveller, I have endeavoured to embody within the compass of a small volume, as many facts, and as much useful information, as a due regard to the leading object of the present work would admit. I have therefore omitted all such details and extraneous matters, as would only serve to augment the size of the volume, without producing a corresponding increase of utility. The work will accordingly be found to consist of little else than very concise statements of such facts in relation to the several states, their population, number of counties, area, forms of government, cities, towns, roads, canals, distances, & c. as would be most likely to prove useful to, or deserve the notice of the traveller. Under the head of each city, or large town, is given an account, arranged in tabular form, of all the leading routes from each, distinguishing between those by Steam-boats, Stages or Canal-boats, with the distances from place to place, carefully noted. A brief account of the principal objects of curiosity, in or near the larger towns, will also be found under the head of each. With regard to the canals and rail-roads of the United States, the reader will perceive, that I have entered rather more into details that in the other parts of the work. Regarding the subject as one of importance, I have drawn up from the most authentic sources, accounts of those works which will be found under the heads of the respective states. Those accounts will elucidate the extent, points of commencement and termination, and such other facts, as are considered important in reference to the general system of internal improvements in our country.
