Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Liberty in America Sketches, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Sketches of a Tour in the United States and Canada, in 1857-8 First time, and include not only the chapters on the great social and political questions, which more than any mere records of travel are of interest to the lovers of human liberty and progress but nearly the whole of the Canadian tour. It is not to be expected that in a residence of less than a twelvemonth in America, the author can have acquired a thorough acquaintance with the institutions of the country, or with the operations of social causes, which the Americans themselves do not always comprehend. He makes no pretence at being oracular, but has contented himself with describing life as he saw it, and liberty as he studied it, to the extent of his opportunities, both in the North and in the South. He went to America, neither to carp, to sneer, nor to caricature, but with an honest love of liberty, and a sincere desire to judge for himself, and to tell the truth, as to\ the results of the great experiment in self-government, which the Anglo Saxon and anglo-celtic races are making in America, under the most favourable circumstances, and with nothing, not springing from themselves, to impede or.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Liberty in America, Vol. 2 of 2: Or Sketches of a Tour in the United States and Canada, in 1857-8 Print, as some of our citizens might take it as per sonal. On another occasion an eminent lawyer, who had filled some of the highest Offices of the State, a man to whom ancient and modern literature were equally familiar, who had studied European as well as American politics, whose mind seemed to have run through the whole circle Of human knowledge, and who could converse eloquently on any subject, though while he spoke the tobacco-juice oozed out of the corners Of his mouth, and ran down upon his shirt-front and waistcoat, took a large cake of tobacco from his side-pocket, and courteously Offered me a chew. The cake, I should think, weighed about half a pound. I asked him if he had ever calculated how many gallons Of spit such a cake represented? Well, he said, putting the cake back again into his pocket, it is a disgusting habit. I quite agree with you. I have made several attempts to break myself of it, but in vain. I cannot think, or work, without a chew; and, although I know it injures my stomach, and is in other respects bad for me, I am the slave of the habit, and will, I fear, be so to the end of my Even in the presence of ladies, the chewers and Spitters do not relent and ladies seem almost, if not quite, as indifferent to the practice as the.

Book excerpt: In visiting a rice plantation, my object was not so much to satisfy myself that the slave-owners of America are kind to their negroes, as to satisfy the public opinion of Charleston that English travelers are not prejudiced against Southern proprietors...-from "A Rice Plantation"Life and Liberty in America in America. The title is intentionally ironic-Charles Mackay was well aware of the paradox of studying liberty in a slave-holding nation; his biting wit and extraordinarily opinionated personality shines through in this intriguing work. Subtitled "Sketches of a Tour in the United States and Canada in 1857-8" and first published in 1860, Mackay's impressions span the continent, from New York's Broadway at night-which is far less the boulevard of vice Mackay expected, and nothing, he assures, to compare to the decadence of London or Paris-to the Mormons of Utah-McKay bitterly wonders why America's freedom of religion should extend to a faith he deems "superstitious." As a document of America just prior to the Civil War, seen through the eyes of an outsider, this is a fascinating and historically important book.Also available from Cosimo Classics: Mackay's Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.Scottish journalist CHARLES MACKAY (1814-1889) held an honorary law degree from Glasgow University, as well as a doctorate in literature. A renowned poet and songwriter, he also authored a Dictionary of Lowland Scotch.
