Excerpt from Forty Years of American Life, Vol. 2 of 2 English tourists in America become better acquainted with the life of hotels, railways, and steamboats - the life of the floating and voyaging population of America - than any other. Most of them do not seem to like it. From first to last they have done little but find fault. It is all different from, or, as the English say, different to, what they have known at home. Being different, an Englishman naturally thinks it is worse. I do not altogether agree with this opinion. In certain respects I undoubtedly prefer the American hotel, railway, and steamboat to the English. More Americans travel, and Americans travel more than the people of any other nation.
