Excerpt from American Nights’ Entertainments: Compiled From Pencilings of an United States Senator: Entitled, a Winter in the Federal City; With a Supplement
From the great success the author has met with in the present enterprise, he has been induced to issue not only a lecond edition, but to publish, during the present year, a second part, (each part to be complete within itself.) The work will prove a fair delineation of American character. And a faithful portraiture of the physical aspect of the country.
The object is not only to amuse, but to instruct; to create a spirit of Hope, Energy, and Self-reliance in the youth of the country. It will prove of interest to. The scholar, the politician, the man of business, the man of leisure, friend at the fire-side and a companion in the lonesome llour.
