Excerpt from Recollections: Six Years Residence, United States of America, Interspersed With Original Anecdotes, Illustrating the Manners of the Inhabitants, The Great Western Republic So much has of late years been written regarding the United States of America, that it almost looks like presumption to offer any thing new on the subject. In a country, however, of such extent, and amongst a people of such enterprise, there are circumstances worthy of remark daily occurring, and in submitting the following observations to the candour of my countrymen, I would, with all due deference, remark, that nothing can be more distant from my sentiments than to exalt America at the expense of Britain, or to depreciate the former at the expense of truth. Having spent nearly six years in different parts of the Union, I have no hesitation in saying, that, for the poor man of industry or perseverance, America holds out many inducements, to the man of capital, the temptation is not so great, considering the disadvantages inevitably attending emigration to a new country, and change of climate.
