Book Description
Excerpt from Letters on the Natural History and Internal Resources of the State of New-York The following Letters first appeared in the columns of a newspaper during the year 1820. They attracted much attention at that time, and were copied and read with great avidity. They are evidently the production of no ordinary mind, and hence curiosity was awakened to discover the learned traveller, whose acute perception and just delineation had opened to our view some of the hidden beauties of our state. It is not for the publisher to say how far the opinion of the literary community was correct in ascribing these letters to an eminent statesman, whose researches in science might well justify such a suspicion. They are now collected in a volume and offered to the public, from a conviction that their merits entitle them to a form adapted to the libraries of this reading people.
