We have seen the new British work on
hi. country, entitled Views ofSociety and
Manners in America, by an Englishwoman.'
II is understood to be the production OF
ladv Who visited the United States about a
wear or two ago, in company with sister,
and without any regular companion OF the
other sex. She printed, if we mistake not
a poetical drama and some other verse a.
mong US, but did not, we believe, inspire
the American reader with high idea OF hel
qualifications for that department OF compo'
srion. Her prose, in the present volume, !:
far superior to the poetry to which we refer
and her kindness for America IS even beyono
what could have been expected from the
most benignant temper and liberia! spirit.
She paints every thing couleur de rose
treats OF our intellect, morals, manners. edu'
cation. religion, politics, political history
and institutions, scenery, &C.; and makes
the most favorable report Of US on every
topic. This lady is the opposite OF the Fea
rons, Howitts, and all the slanderous race D
vulgar British travellers. She is as much
distinguished from them by dignity OF tone
and refinement OF mental tastes and pursuits
as by her amiabIe even, enthusiastic feeling
towards the United States. Her book vii
be read with interest and we think with some
profit, IN this country. The American peo
pie must be pleased with So strong testi
mony bone in their favor, although ever
the most self-complacent among them can
not fail to deem Der representations rattle
too yividIy and uniformly encomiastic to b.
strictly faithful. 4
We annex some extracts from "Tht
Views" to exempli(y their tenor. Ih'
amusing account OF the fate OF the Post Bag
in the back settlements Of New York, doe
not appear to be meant to disparsge TIT
country, and is not, we apprehend, liable II
the charge OF much exasgera,ion.
The manrers of the women strike me a

and iseliness: there is about them, al leas
IN my eyes, certain unlaught grace, arr
gaiety of the heart, equally removed from
