Excerpt from Life and Liberty in America Sketches, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Sketches of a Tour in the United States and Canada, in 1857-8

In pursuance of a long-cherished desire the author of the following pages left London in October, 1857, for a tour in the United States and Canada. He traversed the Union from Boston to New Orleans, by St. Louis and the Mississippi, and returned to New York by land, through the Slave States. He afterwards visited Canada; and published, from time to time, in the Illustrated London News, a few of the results of his observations, under the title of "Transatlantic Sketches." These sketches, after having received careful revision, have been included in the present work, and form about one third of its bulk.
