"Landing at New Orleans in late December, 1827, she went almost immediately up the river to Memphis and thence to Louisville and Cincinnati, reaching the latter place about February 10, 1828. At Memphis she tarried a few days and went to visit Francis Wright's near-by Nashoba Community, which oppressed her with its unfinished buildings and primitive surroundings. After leaving Cincinnati, the scene of her most violent tirades against the United States, she passed the summer of 1830 in Maryland. Here she observed slavery, especially among the small landed proprietors, and found the slaves not badly treated, although she believed the essence of the system to be bad" - Clark 112. She also visited Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Washington, and New York. "A minor classic of looking down one's nose" - Streeter 845. Her book became an instant best seller.

During the War of 1812, he served as Brigadier General. As a reward for his service he was appointed Governor of the Michigan Territory by President James Madison. In 1831 he resigned as Governor of the Michigan Territory to take the post of Secretary of War under President Andrew Jackson, serving until 1836. Cass was a central figure in formulating and implementing the Indian Removal policy of the Jackson administration. From 1836 to 1842, he was U.S. Ambassador to France. Cass represented the State of Michigan in the United States Senate from 1845 to 1848. In 1848 he resigned from the Senate to run for President. Cass was a leading supporter of the Doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, which held that the people who lived in a territory should decide whether or not to permit slavery there. His nomination caused a split in the Democratic party, leading many antislavery Democrats to join the Free Soil Party. After losing the election to Zachary Taylor, he returned to the Senate, serving from 1849 to 1857. Cass then served as Secretary of State under President James Buchanan (1857-1860). This book was apparently issued in hopes that Cass would again run for the Presidency in 1852. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! AMERICANA BOX 1

Scots born Thomas Hamilton (1789-1842) was generally overshadowed by his famous father - William Hamilton (1758-1790), professor of anatomy and botany at Glasgow, and his brother Sir William Hamilton (1788-1856) the metaphysician and antiquary. In 1810, after fully showing, in Glasgow and Liverpool, his incapacity for business, he got a commission in the 29th Regiment. Twice on active service in the Peninsula, he received from a musket bullet, at Albuera, a somewhat serious wound in the thigh. He was also in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick with his regiment, which at length was sent to France as part of the army of occupation. About 1818 Hamilton retired to Edinburgh on half-pay. He became a valued member of the 'Blackwood' writers. Hamilton married in 1820, and for several summers he and his wife lived near Abbotsford, Sir Walter Scott finding them very congenial neighbors and friends. In 1827 he wrote the ten popular novel Cyril Thornton. In 1829 they went to Italy, where Mrs. Hamilton died. Some time after his return, Hamilton visited America, bringing back materials for a this book on the Americans. 'Men and Manners in America' first appeared in 1833. 'Here his fund of humour and his genial satire, characteristics that struck Carlyle in his interviews with him in 1832-3 found scope, but his fun, if occasionally extravagant, was never unfair, nor were his criticisms directed by prejudice or charged with ill-nature.' - DNB. In the book he insightfully comments on all aspects of American culture, industry and government, he frequently expresses fascinating insight into the mores of this country. Especially interesting is his observations on American blacks - both Free and Slave. S&S/AI 19191; Sabin 30035; Howes 4481/H-138. PAIMP 22
