HALL, Lieut. Francis. TRAVELS IN CANADA, AND THE UNITED STATES, IN 1816
AND 1817. Boston: Wells & Lilly, 1818. First Edition. Original blue
boards; 332 pages. Howes H-62; New Howes H-63 "b": "unflattering
description of American life and character." Despite Howe's claim, Hall
expressed some admiration at what he saw and was very impressed with
Jefferson, whom he interviewed. An 84-page appendix includes essays on
slavery. Some staining, moderate foxing; rear cover with red stain. Very
Good. (#004559) $350.00
