Of all the indefatigable American travellers who go knocking about the world, spying out the peculiarities of countries and peoples, studying up governments and societies, and deducting philosophical conclusions and practical theories from every thing they see, and then put their observations in print for the benefit of the stay-at-homes who would study continents without the trouble of exploring them—decidedly the most entertaining, in a general way, is J. Ross Browne.—Albany Journal.
