Manchester: John Johnson, 1849 In his preface to the 2nd edition the author states that this book was made possible by his publisher so that the masses could read it otherwise it would be a "sealed" book. Included also are his statements that the map should have had the slave states colored black as indicating their polluted and polluting atmosphere. The book reads like a diary or journal of the trip - actually it is quite well written and easy to read. The author undertook this trip as a respite from his struggle for the free trade in corn. Some of the contents in this 217 page book are: the voyage, slavery, new york astor hotel, the wharves, suppl;y of water, new jersey, baltimore, philadelphia, , irish labourer (a great little write up on why the irish were here in the US); niagra falls, education, yale, descendents of the puritans; , indians, massachusetts, plus much more. Included is the map that he used with the outlined trip. There is a tear on the map but it is not in the text part.
