"The New World of Columbus.its sudden rise to independence wealth and power" Author's preface is captured in this Victorian publication on the United States and "British America" Canada with fine engravings after the noted British landscape painter William Henry Bartlett. This is a wonderful illustrated romp published at a time to illustrate the last days of relative freedom of the North American native peoples Willis cites Blumenbach in analyzing the "real character of the aboriginal inhabitant" and the development of the cities on the West coast of America and unusually Lower Canada. William Bartlett "made four voyages to the United States and Canada.the fruits of which appeared in American Scenery and Canadian Scenery" DNB. The famous plates depict North American cities New York Philadelphia Boston Washington; important buildings such as the U.S. Bank the Capitol and Yale College; bridges parks falls ferries rivers; as well as fine views of Canada through Quebec Montreal Toronto and including Niagara Falls and Thousand Isles. Also included is an engraved portrait of Bartlett a map of the north-eastern United States and Lower Canada. Sabin calls Canadian Scenery "the finest of Mr. Bartlett's works." Willis's "The Literary Department" accompanying letterpress lyrically opines on the picturesque quoting Byron's Childe Harold on sighting Niagara Falls and noting that in America the traveler may imagine "an Eden newly-sprung from the ocean".
