Страница 327 - But why should the Americans write books, when a six weeks' passage brings them, in their own tongue, our sense, science and genius, in bales and hogsheads? Prairies, steam-boats, grist-mills, are their natural objects for centuries to come.

Страница 451 - I do not by any means assent to the pictures of depravity and general worthlessness which some have drawn of the Hindoos.
