Excerpt from America, Vol. 1 of 3: Historical, Statistic, and Descriptive At the close of my parliamentary labours, in 1837 - when the great object of my public life had been successfully accomplished, by the abolition of the East India Company's monopoly, and the open ing of the vast and populous regions of the East to British enterprise - I availed myself of my retirement, to make a second visit to America, with the intention of devoting at least three years to a careful examination of all the most prominent and interesting objects of nature and art, that the country contained, as well as investigating the nature of its institutions, the structure of its society, and the character and manners of its people.
