Description: This book is a travel journal of a Boston merchant's experiences on a trip to England in 1815. Beginning with his sea voyage to Liverpool, the author relates his adventures and observations on British life. He witnesses the industrial revolution's impact on working class communities, and visits various institutions including factories, churches, hospitals, and theaters. His reflections on the historical and cultural differences between England and America, as well as on the political and social issues of his time, provide a vivid snapshot of England as it emerged from the Napoleonic Wars. Through the author's eyes, we gain insights into the lives of the English people and the profound changes taking place in their society.
