Excerpt from Travels Into North America, Vol. 3: Containing Its Natural History, and a Circumstantial Account of Its Plantations and Agriculture in General, With the Civil, Ecclesiatical and Commercial State of the Country, the Manners of the Inhabitants, and Several Curious and Important Remarks on Var
I could have left this volume without preface, was it not for some circumstances, which I am going to mention.
The author of this account of North-America is a Swede, and therefore seems always to shew a peculiar way of thinking in regard to the English in general, and in regard to the first proprietors and inhabitants of Philadelphia in particular. The French, the natural enemies of the English, have, for upwards of a century, been the allies of the Swedes, who therefore are in general more fond of them than of the English.
