Observations on Professions, Literature, Manners, and Emigration, in the United States and Canada, Made During a Residence There in 1832

FIDLER, Rev. Isaac

Regular price $125.00 Sale

A pompous Englishman explores the U.S. and Canada in 1832 and comments on the harshness of the New York climate, American prejudices, the wonders of Niagara, and the roaming habits of Canadian cattle. But see The North American Review No. LXXXI, October 1833, pp. 273-314 for an amusing review of this book by a clever Bostonian, who pokes holes in many of Fidler's arguments.
