Excerpt from On Emigration, &C., &C: New York, July 31, 1818, or 43d Year of American Independence In appearance the Americans are tall and thin, sallow complexion, or asthe Americans say complected, care worn eonntenances, which are seldom enlivened by a' smile, a natural effect of calculatin avarice. Did you ever know a being whose very sou was engrossed by avarice to smile?, Never! But when adding to his ill gotten gains, at the expence of others. At all other times his appearance is morose and sullen In their per sens they are not so cleanly, as the English. The American ladies, before they arrive at the age of twenty-five or thirty years, are, particularly interesting, in their appearance and conversation; but a ter that time they begin to lose their teeth, and old age is depicted on their features. An American woman looks as old at thirty as an English woman at fifty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
