Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Author s Note MY first visit to the United States of America -a short one was paid in 1888. The observations on which this book is mainly based were, however, made in 1890-93, when I spent nearly three years in the country, engaged in the preparation of Baedeker s Handbook to the United States. My work led me into almost every State and Territory in the Union, and brought me into direct contact with representatives of practically every class. The book was almost wholly written in what leisure I could find for it in 1895 and 1896. The foot-notes, added on my third visit to the country (1898), while I was seeing the chapters through the press, have at least this significance, that they show how rapidly things change in the Land of Contrasts. No part of the book has been previously published, except some ten pages or so, which appeared in the A rena for July, 1SU2. Most of the matter in this article has been incorporated in Chapter II. of the present volume.
