Excerpt from The American Traveller; Or Guide Through the United States: Containing Brief Notices of the Several States, Cities, Principal Towns, Canals and Rail Roads, &C., With Tables of Distances, by Stage, Canal and Steam Boat Routes Brevity being an essential quality in a book designed for the pocket of the traveller, I have endeavoured to embody Within the compass of a small volume, as many facts, and as much useful information, as a due regard to the leading object of the present work would admit. I have therefore omitted all such details and extraneous matters, as would on ly serve to augment the size of the volume, without produc ing a corresponding increase of utility. The work will accordingly be found to consist of little else than very con 'cise statements of such facts in relation to the several states, their population, number of counties, area, forms of govern. Ment, cities, towns, roads, canals, distances, &c. As would be most likely to prove useful to, or deserve the notice of the traveller. Under the head of each city, or large town, is given an account, arranged in tabular form, of all the leading routes from each, distinguishing between those by Steam-boats, Stages or Canal-boats, with the distances from place to place, carefully noted.
