Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The English Traveller in America: 1785-1835
IN undertaking this study of conditions in the United States in the fifty-year period after the Revolution, as Seen through the eyes of English travellers, the author has attempted to produce a book which will be useful and inter esting alike to the student of history and of literature. The English attitude toward America has been variously and frequently determined; such widely different works, for instance, as Henry T. Tuckerman's America and Her Commentators (1864) and John Graham Brooks' AS Others See Us (1908) are well-known examples of this type of interpretative literature.' But books of this kind, while affording much bibliographical material, usually at tempt to cover the whole field of foreign criticism of Amer ica and are necessarily superficial in their discussion of the various phases of American life. It is this difficulty that the present work attempts to obviate by the limitation of its subject.
