First published in London in 2 vols with 24 plates, this book has August Hervieu's 8 satirical plates. "...an 1832 travel book by Frances Trollope, which follows her travels through America and her residence in Cincinnati, at the time still a frontier town. [...] The book created a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic, as Frances Trollope had a caustic view of the Americans and found America strongly lacking in manners and learning." - Wikipedia.
