Excerpt from Reminiscences of America in 1869
The form of the present work may, it is true, appear at first sight a very imperfect means of pro ducing, in ever so small a measure, so desirable an end. We only profess to offer a few notes of travel and reminiscences of a somewhat length ened visit to the United States, in the course of which we have reason to believe that we were enabled by the circumstances of our visit to arrive at a truer estimate of the American character, and form a more correct opinion on things American generally, than commonly falls to the lot of casual travellers.
