 task, he went, and now he is glad that he acted upon

 restorative. For a tired man, suffering from mental 

 and physical exhaustion, there is no journey which 

 can be made from the port of New York which is more 

 likely than this to prove beneficial. The run across

 The traveler is no sooner installed in his cabin than he 

 must begin to make preparations to disembark. The 

 voyage to Argentina, occupying nearly thirty days, 

 over calm summer seas, in comfortable ships, which 

 from time to time call at points which are full of interest, 

 is to be recommended to any one as tending in the 

 highest degree to recuperate exhausted energy. Of 

 the pleasures of this voyage, of the thoughts which it 

 awakened, and the impressions which it made, the 

 succeeding pages will tell.
