Travels in North America in the Years 1827 and 1828, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Travels in North America in the Years 1827 and 1828, Vol. 1 of 3 In former days, I confess I was not very well disposed to the Americans a feeling shared with all my companions on board, and probably also With most of my superiors. But as the duties of a i'aried service, in after years, threw me far from the source at Which these national antipathies had been imbibed, they appeared gradually to dissi pate themselves, in proportion as my acquaintance with other countries was extended, and I had learned to think better of mankind in general. Thus, in process of time, I came to view with regret the prevalence in others of those hos tile sentiments I had myself relinquished. My next anxiety naturally was, to persuade others, that there really were no just grounds for the mutual hostility so manifestly existing between America and England. To speak more correctly, I could not help believing, that, in spite of the great difl'erences in the geographical and political situation of the two countries, there must still be so many circumstances in which they agreed, that if the merits of both were respectively explained, there would Spring up more cordiality between them; a state of things which I took it for granted must be avantageous to both countries.
