Description

American Scenery, Vol. 1 (of 2) - or, Land, lake, and river illustrations of transatlantic nature

Either Nature has wrought with a bolder hand in America, or the effect of long continued cultivation on scenery, as exemplified in Europe, is greater than is usually supposed. Certain it is that the rivers, the forests, the unshorn mountain-sides and unbridged chasms of that vast country, are of a character peculiar to America alonea lavish and large-featured sublimity, (if we may so express it,) quite dissimilar to the picturesque of all other countries. To compare the sublime of the Western Continent with the sublime of Switzerlandthe vales and rivers, lakes and waterfalls, of the New World with those of the Oldto note their differences, and admire or appreciate each by contrast with the other, was a privilege hitherto confined to the far-wandering traveller. In the class of works, of which this is a specimen, however, that enviable enjoyment is brought to the fire-side of the home-keeping and secluded as well; and, sitting by the social hearth, those whose lot is domestic and retired, can, with small cost, lay side by side upon the evening table the wild scenery of America, and the bold passes of the Alpsthe leafy Susquehanna with its rude raft, and the palace-gemmed Bosphorus with its slender caque. So great a gratification is seldom enjoyed at so little cost and pains. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
