Excerpt from Men and Manners in America My next occupation was to look over my letters of introduction. Of these I found above thirty addressed to New York, and being by no means anxious to become involved in so wide a vortex of acquaintance, I request ed one of my American fellow-passengers to select such, as, from his local knowledge, he imagined might prove of more immediate service to a traveller like myself. In consequence of this arrangement, about half the let ters with which the kindness of my friends had furnished me, were discarded, and I can truly say, that the very warm and obliging reception I experienced from those to whom I forwarded introductions, left me no room to r ret the voluntary limitation of their number.

Excerpt from Men and Manners in America, Vol. 1 of 2 Had I been conscious, in what I have written of the United States, of being influenced by any motive incompatible with perfect fairness of purpose, you are perhaps the last person to whose judgement I should venture an appeal. By no one will the arguments I have advanced be more rigidly examined, and the grist of truth more carefully winnowed from the chaff of sophistry and declamation. For this reason, and in testimony of sincere esteem, I now publicly connect your name with the present work.

Excerpt from Men and Manners in America, Vol. 2 of 2 In one Of the squares of the city, there is what is called the Battle Monument, a sort of trophy column, erected to commemorate the repulse Of the attack on the city during the late war, and the names of those who fell. In its defence. This structure, which is about fifty feet in height, consists of a column repro senting the Roman fasces, symbolical of the Union, rising from a square pedestal, which tapers in the Egyptian style, with a griļ¬‚in at each corner. Above, is the statue of Victory, with an eagle at her side. The effect Of the whole is sadly injured by a most anomalous complexity of petty details. Indeed, so vicious is this monument in point Of taste, that it is difficult to believe it the production Of the same period which has adorned the city with the noble 'structure to Washington.
