Book Description

Excerpt from A Tour in the United States, Cuba, and Canada Our outgoing passage was boisterous, being early in the month of January. The sleet and snow became frozen, and for some days prevented our taking exercise on deck. The sun was overcast, and many a time prevented the captain from taking his noonday Observations of the course we were steering. The storm broke one of the paddle boxes; the waves entered the chimney; the passengers were confined to the saloon, and, deprived of the power of enjoying out-door exercise, were compelled to fill up the time with reading, chess playing, and other amusements.

Three Months in Canada and the United States (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Three Months in Canada and the United States The following pages contain various incidents and particulars of my trip in America and Canada, chiefly collected from a journal which I kept during my tour.

I have no wish to magnify in the least degree what I have been able to aecom plish in the following pages; however, I must say that the production of the same has cost me much time and labour. I am only delighted that I have been so far successful in making a completion of this book, for it has seemed to me many times almost beyond my powers.
