Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from America; A Sketch of the Political, Social, and Religious Character of the United States of North America, in Two Lectures: Delivered at Berlin, With a Report Read Before the German Church Diet at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, Sept;, 1854
But instead of treating the German churches of America, as I did in Berlin, as briefly as the symmetry of the discourse required, my publisher thought it more to the purpose to devote to these a separate part. Accordingly, after an interruption of several weeks and a tour through Italy and Tyrol, I composed the third part on my native mountains of Switzerland. Since little is as yet authentically known in Germany on the subject there treated, I hepe this part will be to many readers a welcome addition. For there I had the special advantage of moving in the field of my own immediate experience and observation, and I think I have depicted light and shade with as much impartiality as elsewhere.
