Excerpt: ... 1 G3 an air of neatness, and the roads themselves are better attended to than in Virginia, and the western parts of Pennsylvania; or even in the ' neighbourhood of the federal city, where they are so busily employed in ornamental architecture. This morning we had the pleasure of meeting a group of nymphs with their attendant swains, ten in number, on horseback: (for no American walks who can obtain a horse, and there are few indeed, who Gannot.) The young men were carrying umbrellas over the heads of their fair partners {fair by courtesy, ) and as there was no shew of Sundays best about them, we were the more pleased with their decent, respectable appearance.

Excerpt from Notes on a Journey in America From the Coast of Virginia to the Territory of Illinois That institutions favourable to virtue, shall produce effects correspondent to their character upon the society blessed with them, is a conclu sion so natural, that we should be inclined to suspect an error in our estimate of the institu tions themselves, if we found a vicious people under a good government.

Synopsis Notes on a Journey in America by : Morris Birkbeck
"Morris Birkbeck, and English farmer, emigrated to America in 1817 and settled in Illinois. He was not just another poor emigrant, however. In England he had leased an estate of 1,500 acres and had kept abreast of the latest agricultural techniques... He possessed considerable capital and when he arrived in the United States determined to establish a colony for himself and other emigrants in the Illinois Territory. His Notes on a Journey In America, from the Coast of Virginia to the Territory of Illinois, first printed in 1817, extolled the advantages of settlement in the Illinois prairies"--Foreward.
