The Americans are as gregarious as school-boys, and think it an incivility to leave you by yourself. Every thing is done in crowds, and among a crowd. They even prefer a double bed to a single one, and I have often had the offer to sleep with me made out of real kindness. You must go ""east of sun-rise"" (or west of sun-set) if you would have solitude.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
