Travels In The United States Of America And Part Of Upper Canada Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Travels in the United States of America, and Part of Upper Canada In preparing the following Observations for the Press, the Author has anxiously endeavoured to exclude every thing which could have the most remote tendency to deceive or mislead. It was from a conviction that no publication which he had then seen, was calculated to give a correct idea of America that he undertook to examine for himself.
