Notes: "In our voyages upon the North River, we have observed the solicitude evinced by travelers, to gain information concerning it, and have regretted that they were enabled to glean so little. The guide-books in general use, deal more in dull statistics and commonplace matters of fact, and less in that kind of information best calculated to instruct and amuse, and still less in those storied reminiscences that so often throw a charm around natural scenery. It is not expected, however intelligent, or disposed to oblige, that the officers in command of steamboats have it in their power ... to answer a tithe of the questions that travellers would wish to put to them on these subjects ... To obviate these difficulties, has been the object of this little work ..."--P. [3].
