Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through America: Or Nine Months in the United States AS the ground which is covered in the following pages has been often described before, I feel that some apology is due from me for submitting to the public a book of travel which will take the reader through scenes with the general aspects of which he is, probably, already sufficiently familiar. But America, with its vast natural resources, and with a population at once ingenious and enterprising, is, necessarily, in a continual state of development and change. For the traveller, therefore, who visits, even, the beaten tracks of such a country, there will always be plenty of fresh material to collect, and abundant opportunity for the enunciation of new views of old subjects; and I venture to hope that in the endeavour to present a truthful account of actual ex periences of travel in the United States, I may, perhaps, have gathered a few facts which will prove to be something more than mere personal reminiscences, and be interesting and valuable to the public at large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Visits to America The third point is that the book is not the work of an observer who has made a hurried tour through the country, visited the more conspicuous places designated in the common guide-books, and then presumes to write impressions of the people and country; but it is the conscientious opinion of a woman of matured intelligence, who has seen much of human nature, and has visited America three times before taking up her pen to note her inferences from what has been seen and heard. Each time Miss F aithfull came here, she came with an earnest pur pose to study our society, our women, our industries, that she might learn something of use in her special work. She was each time among us more in the character of the learner than the critic, and it will be seen that her statements from beginning to end are entirely free from any tincture of pedantry or ego tism. She speaks candidly, frankly, awarding cordial approval wherever she has found matters to her lik ing, and expressing as decided dissent or reproof, yet always in kindly terms, regarding matters that she deems it expedient to censure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Lectures on a Short Visit to America Fourtkly and Laslly I am not all sure that it was the wrong time of the year - that is, for me; it being equally the same to me (as far as stomach and appetite and pulse and nerve are concerned) whether it blows a gale of wind or a gentle zephyr; whether the sea sweeps fore and afttor laps feebly and lazily a few inches up the ships side, so long as I can manage to hold on. While I can certainly bear heat much better than cold, and if I had to choose between going in mid winter or mid summer my suffrage would be given for the former; for, amongst other reasons this special one, that I would rather run the Mame of being bitten by American frost in winter; than submit to the certain horror and indignity of being bitten by American mosquitoes in the summer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Second Visit to the United States of North America, Vol. 1 of 2 To account for'the toleration prevailing in New England and the states chie y peopled from thence, we must refer to a com bination of many favorable circumstances, some of them of ancient date, and derived from the times of the first Puritan settlers. To these I shall have many opportunities of alluding in the sequel but I shall mention now a more modern cause, the effect of which was brought vividly before my mind, in conversations with sev eral lawyers of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, whom I fell in with on this tour. I mean the reaction against the extreme Calvinism of the church first established in this part of America, a movement which has had a powerful tendency to subdue and mitigate sectarian bitterness. In order to give me some idea of the length to which the old Calvinistic doctrines were instilled into the infant mind, one of my companions pre sented me with a curious poem, called the Day of Doom.

In procuring these victims of a guilty traffic, to be devoted to the rigours of perpetual slavery, it is computed that two hundred and eighty thousand perish in addition, and under circumstances the most revolting and afflicting. But this is not all. In the Southern section of the United States, and in British India, a vast internal slave trade is carried on, second only in horror and extent to that which has so long desolated and degraded Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What to See in America In this compact, single volume, with its 500 illustrations, each state in the Union has a chapter, and each of the cities of New York and Washington has an additional chapter. The book is concerned with the human interest of our coun try in nature, history, industry, literature, legend, and biography. It is intended for travelers who visit the places of interest in person, and also for those other travelers whom chance or necessity keeps at home, but who travel far and wide on the wings of fancy. The information is much concentrated, but not to the extent of sacrificing readableness. Under each state is included such things as the first settlement, the capital, the largest city, the highest point, and facts of general interest concerning its past and present that add to the traveler's zest in visiting it. My own wanderings have taken me to every state in the Union, and have furnished much of value in preparing the book, but I have gathered additional material from many sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Tour in the United States IT had been an arrangement between Mr. John Brooks and myself, after the termination of the long struggle for free trade in corn, in which, as members of the Council of the anti-corn-law League, from its commencement to its close, we had both taken an active, and rather an exhaust ing part, that we should seek some relaxation in a journey somewhere; and a pretty long voyage, for the benefit of his health, having been recommended to Mr. Brooks, we resolved to see the magnificent scenery of the United States, and to observe the working of democratic institutions in that great republic. I had long desired to visit America in pre ference to the old states of continental Europe, not only because I had relatives there, but that I regarded the country as destined to contain the most numerous branch of the anglo-saxon family; and my pursuits in life had given me more interest in the prospects of mankind than in their past history. A brief tour needs but a brief record. In the following pages little more is intended than to convey the impressions made upon the eye and mind of a hasty passenger through a country of much present beauty and great future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North America, Vol. 1 It has been the ambition of my literary life to write a book about the United States, and I had made up my mind to visit the country with this object before the intestine troubles of the United States government had commenced. I have not allowed the division among the States and the breaking out of civil war to interfere with my intention; but I should not purposely have chosen this period either for my book or for my visit. I say so much, in order that it may not be supposed that it is my special purpose to write an account of the struggle as far as it has yet been carried. My wish is to describe as well as I can the present social and political state of the country. This I should have attempted, with more personal satisfaction in the work, had there been no disruption between the North and South; but I have not allowed that disruption to deter me from an object which, if it were delayed, might probably never be carried out. I am therefore forced to take the subject in its present condition, and being so forced I must write of the war, of the causes which have led to it, and of its probable termination. But I wish it to be understood that it was not my selected task to do so, and is not now my primary object. Thirty years ago my mother wrote a book about the Americans, to which I believe I may allude as a well-known and successful work without being guilty of any undue family conceit. That was essentially a woman's book. She saw with a woman's keen eye, and described with a woman's light but graphic pen, the social defects and absurdities which our near relatives had adopted into their domestic life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Impressions of America Having been invited in the Spring of 1921 to undertake a lecturing tour in the United States of Merica, I seized the opportunity of jotting down as I went along my impressions of scenery, places with historical interest, and manners and customs of the people which specially appealed to me, and these impressions were contributed in the form of articles to the Gloucester Citizen. It is because so many readers have told me that those articles gave them a better idea of the States than anything they had read before, that I ventured, in response to many requests, to produce them in book form. This book is not offered to the travelled citizen of the world, but rather to the rank and file of Britishers - dwellers in small streets and rural retreats, and inhabitants of provincial towns - who how next to nothing of the United States and whose ignorance is not dissipated after they have read many books, the writers of which have assumed their knowledge of details that are usually assimi lated by the traveller alone. In dealing with the great cities of America, I have in each case selected for notice what seemed to me the central feature of interest, thus: New York stands mainly for commercial enterprise.
