Excerpt from Travels in the United States of America, in the Years 1806& 1807, and 1809, 1810,& 1811, Vol. 1 of 2: Including an Account of Passages Betwixt America and Britain, and Travels Through Various Parts of Great Britain, Ireland, and Upper Canada
The journal of a traveller, when judiciously compiled, presents a living picture of the state of the country through which he passes; while the interest that is excited by the narrative gratifies the fancy, and combines to render this at once an entertaining and instructive species of reading. Hence we find that books of travels have of late multiplied to a great extent, and are always in. demand with the public. The field is inexhaustible, and must continue so while society is in a progressive state.
No country presents a more ample field for inquiry than the United States of America, and it is equally important whether we view it in regard to the inhabitants of America or of Britain.
