Excerpt from Trans-Pacific Sketches: A Tour Through the United States and Canada
The following pages were written on board the good ship Sobraon, during her last trip from London, to Melbourne; with the sole intention and purpose of relieving the tedium, and breaking the monotony, incidental to a long sea-voyage.
The writer has been induced to publish them; it having been represented to him, that they may be of service to a large number of people, who select the American route, by which to proceed to the home country.
He has aimed at accuracy, and he thinks the facts and figures given, will generally be found correct.
