These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Retrospect of Western Travel, Volume I (of 2): Look inside the book: At half past ten my fellow-traveller and I, with our friends, were on the way to the dock, in some doubt about our departure, from the wind being directly against us, when we met a gentleman interested in the sailing of the vessel, who told us that we might turn back, as the captain had given up all hope of getting out of port that day. ...We had among us a Prussian physician; a New-England divine; a Boston merchant, with his sprightly and showy young wife; a high-spirited young South Carolinian, fresh from a German university; a newly-married couple, whose station was not exactly discoverable while on board, but who opened a public-house soon after their arrival in New-York; a Scotch major, whose peculiarities made him the butt of the young men; an elderly widow lady; two amiable young ladies; and a Scotch lady, 'of no particular age,' but of very particular placidity and good-humour; and a youth out of Yorkshire, who was leaving his parents' roof for the first time alone, and who was destined never to return to it. ...There are disagreeable hours and days at sea; whole days, when the ship rolls so as to stop employment in the cabin, and the rain pours down so as to prevent any weary passenger from putting out his head upon deck; when the captain is to be seen outside in his seacoat, with the water streaming from nose, chin, hat, and every projection of his costume; when every one's limbs are aching with Pg 24 keeping himself from tumbling over his neighbour; when the tea and coffee are cold, and all that is liquid is spilled, and everything solid thrown out of its place. About Harriet Martineau, the Author: Charles noted that his father was upset by a piece read in the Westminster Review calling for the radicals to break with the Whigs and give working men the vote 'before he knew it was not hers Martineau's, and wasted a good deal of indignation, and even now can hardly believe it is not hers.' ...'Erasmus has been with her noon, morning, and night:—if her character was not as secure, as a mountain in the polar regions she certainly would loose it.— Lyell called there the other day & there was a beautiful rose on the table, & she coolly showed it to him & said 'Erasmus Darwin' gave me that.— How fortunate it is, she is so very plain; otherwise I should be frightened: She is a wonderful woman'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriet Martineau (1802-76) was a British social theorist and writer, often cited as the first female sociologist. She wrote many books and a multitude of essays from a sociological, holistic, religious, domestic, and, most controversially, feminist perspective. She also translated works by the French philosopher Auguste Comte, and earned enough to support herself entirely from her writing, a rare feat for a woman in the Victorian era. After her family's textile business failed in 1829, Martineau set about earning a living by selling articles to the Monthly Repository, quickly establishing herself as a popular and reliable freelance writer. Her first commissioned book was Illustrations of Political Economy (1832), a fictional tutorial intended to help the general public understand the ideas of Adam Smith, which led to a series of similar monthly stories over the next two years. Upon moving from Norwich to London in 1832 Martineau soon became acquainted with many of the leading figures of the day in the fields of social reform, economics, science and literature, and in 1834, after completing her series on economics, she paid a long visit to the US. On her return she published several books on her findings: Society in America (1837), How to Observe Morals and Manners (1838), both considered significant contributions to the emerging field of sociology, and the more personal account of her trip, Retrospect of Western Travel, published in two volumes in 1838. Martineau was also the author of works of fiction for both children and adults, her best known novel being Deerbrook (1838). In 1839 she was diagnosed with a uterine tumour and her later years were plagued with ill-health although she continued her political activism and remained a prolific writer. In 1855, suffering from heart disease, she began her autobiography, and fearing her life was near its end she completed it within three months, postponing publication until after her death. She went on to live for a further two decades and it was published posthumously in 1877. Reprinted from Volume I of Retrospect of Western Travel published by Saunders & Otley, London, in 1838, and sold by Harper & Brothers, New York.
