"According to the Travels Weld landed at Philadelphia in November 1795 from which he made excurisions in all directions. On one of these he visited Baltimore Washington Alexandria and Mount Vernon. On another he moved west to York and Lancaster the northern neck of Virginia and Williamsburg and Norfolk apparently going as far south as the Dismal Swamp. At Williamsburg he noted that the captial was crumbling to pieces that William and Mary was a grammar school rather that a college that the church was out of repair and that the hospital for the insane was not well regulated. On his return he journeyed to Richmond and west to the mountains and as was usual with travelers he described Rock Bridge. After coming back to Philadelphia he went to Canada. His departure for home took place at New York."--Clark II 132. HOWES W-235. Sabin 102541. Haynes 20950. unknown

Illustrated with 16 folding views plans and maps; xix 1 427; viii 376 pp. Minor aging and some darkening to a few pages and some foxing to one plate. Near fine condition. Weld an Irishman came to America in 1795 when he was nineteen. This work narrates his travels through the former colonies along the eastern seaboard and the Canadian provinces. Very popular at the time it was published Weld comments on the population and social habits and customs of the people he saw. According to Howes Weld seemed to prefer Canada to the States. Compared to the similar works of this period Weld seems to be fairly objective on most things. However whether or not his observation that Americans lose their teeth prematurely is accurate would be hard to substantiate. Contains several interesting views of Niagara Falls Mt. Vernon Bethlehem PA and a large map of the northern portion of the United States with inset of the southern States.</p> John Stockdale hardcover
