Sobre este artículo
Pari: E. Plon et Cie, 1876. [1],iv,233pp. Half title. 12mo. Original printed wrappers. Small tear in front wrapper at lower edge of hinge. Occasional fox mark, very light browning on a few pages. Else very good. The author declares himself to be neither a besotted admirer of Americans, nor an unfair critic; he admires the "magnificent energy" of certain aspects of the American character, but deplores the "prodigious absence of morality." Arriving in New York after a tour in Asia, Toutain draws comparisons between the "ancient world" there and the "new world" of America. He travelled across the continent as far as Utah, and then back to New York, and discourses upon New York City, Niagara Falls, American women (not omitting Indian women and "negresses"), Chicago, the terrible American cuisine, Indians of different tribes, the educational system, the variety of peoples in America (comparing it to Palestine), Joseph Smith and the Mormons, and the Shakers, among other topics. MONAGHAN 1410. FLAKE 8980
