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 Volume 2 written by Thomas Hamilton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-29 with total page 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. His book was published almost a year later (1833) when Hamilton finally felt duty-bound to speak the truth. Volume 2 describes Hamilton's experiences in Washington, New Orleans, Charleston, Niagara, and Quebec, continuing his exploration of their political circumstances and elaborating on matters including climate and religion. Hamilton concludes with a vindication of his austere observations as the duty of one who is attempting to address 'fallacies affecting the welfare of a community', and invites any American visiting England to offer a similar critique.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manners, Vol. 2 of 2: A Novel Mr. Donolan owed his introduction to our travel lers to having accidentally met Colonel Desmond that morning at the Commercial Buildings in Dame street, an elegant establishment, something of the nature of the Adelphi in London; and, the place in the Irish capital where the wanderer is most likely to meet his acquaintances. In answer to some of colonekdesmond's interrogatories, Mr. Donolan men tioned having just received a pressing invitation to visit Bogberry Hall, but that he was afraid it would not be in his power to visit Connaught this summer. Certainly a journey there is a much more serious undertaking, than crossing the Alps was before we were indebted to Buonaparte for the Simplon road, replied Colonel Desmond laughing; but you must some time or other be doomed to remain in this limbo for a short time.
