America as Seen by an Englishman
Description
J.S. Buckingham’s America, Historical, Statistical, Descriptive is Buckingham’s take–in the spirit of de Tocqueville, if somewhat less philosophical–were intended to communicate to the English something of the character of the United States.
A British liberal of the times, Buckingham detested slavery, and made sure to reveal salacious stories of its horrors.
