Excerpt from Few Months in America: Containing Remarks on Some of Its Industrial and Commercial Interests Having had occasion to pass a few months in the United States, during the winter Of 1853-4, a considerable amount of information, upon various subjects, was brought under my notice, some Of which, it occurred to me, would not be without interest to English readers. But, as the subjects which most naturally come under the consideration of travellers have been well nigh exhausted by previous writers, I have, in the following pages, almost entirely confined my remarks to those which do not ordi narily engage their attention - to the material interests of the country - to those subjects with which it is the business of mercantile men, having commercial relations with the States, to make themselves more or less acquainted; and it has been my study to communicate these remarks with simplicity, with accuracy, and within. A small compass. The subjects have been connected by a brief narrative, to lend variety to what might otherwise, by many readers, have been deemed tedious; at the same time, this arrangement has been convenient for the more natural introduction of the topics which are brought under review.
