In All Modes
Except The Last, It Has Certainly Been Done By Several Travellers; But
Great Caution Must Be Used In Reading All Travels In The United States,
Because The Picture Drawn Of Them Is Too Often Overcharged, Either With
Good Or Evil.
Mr, Weld's is a respectable work; and like all travels, even
a few years back, in a country so rapidly changing and improving, from this
cause as well as its information on statistics, toil, climate, morals,
manners, &c. may be consulted with advantage.
It is to be regretted that
he, as well as most other travellers in America, was not better prepared
with a scientific knowledge of natural history. Canada, as well as the
United States, is comprized in Mr. Weld's travels.
809. Mellish's Travels through the United States of America, 1816-17. 2
vols. 8vo. - This is perhaps as impartial and judicious an account of the
United States as any that has lately appeared.
810. Lettres d'un Cultivateur Americain, 1770-86. Par M. St. John de
Crevecoeur. Paris, 1787. 3 vols. 8vo. - We give the French edition of this
work in preference to the English, because it is much fuller. This work of
a Frenchman, long settled in the Anglo-American colonies, gives, in an
animated and pleasing manner, much information on the manners of America at
this period, the habits and occupations of the new settlers, and on the
subject of natural history.
811. Voyages dans les Etats Unis, 1784. Par J.F.D. Smith.
