Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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 griflin 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Men and Manners in America written by Thomas Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Men and Manners in America, Thomas Hamilton (1789-1842) describes with scathing honesty, and a sometimes sarcastic wit, the political and social structures of the newly independent United States. Hamilton journeyed to America in 1830, determined to write a conclusive and impartial account of its democracy. On his return, however, he was desperately aware that this impartiality had produced writings with the potential to deeply offend. Men and Manners in America was, in fact, published almost a year later (1833) when Hamilton finally felt duty-bound to speak the truth. His writings serve as a discerning and thorough study of the beginnings of American democracy, and as a delightfully unintended example of the 'prejudices natural to an [nineteenth- century] Englishman'. Volume 1 describes his experiences of New York, Boston, New England, and Philadelphia.
