Excerpt from The Western World; Or Travels in the United States in 1846-47, Vol. 1 of 3: Exhibiting Them in Their Latest Development, Social, Political and Industrial; Including a Chapter on California The great object of the work is more to instruct than to amuse. But as the press is now so prolific in matter claiming the reader's attention, it is essen tial - especially in the case of one hitherto but little known in the walks of literature - that he should endeavour to amuse in order to instruct. They are but few from whom the public will now accept that which is merely didactic. The judgment must now a-days be reached, more or less, through the imagi nation. It is on this account that although my main object is to present the reader with a faithful account of the political system, the social life, and the mate rial progress Of the Union, I have thrown the whole into the form of a book of travels, mingling the instructive with that which is light, sketchy, and incidental.
