HOSPITALITY* 17 



ed, I found the same comforts and correct 

 domestic economy as in the first families in 

 Britain their servants equally respectful and 

 well bred, and certainly void of any approach 

 to that vulgarity and improper freedom with 

 accounts of which some travellers amuse their 

 readers. 



My acknowledgements for great kindness 

 and hospitality are due to my relatives Messrs 

 George and Anthony Barclay, as well as to 

 Friend Mott and his delightful family circle, in 

 all of whom I found friends indeed. From 

 the Messrs Barclay I obtained useful infor- 

 mation as to the state of the country and my 

 future progress ; and on the 14th of May I 

 bade adieu for a time to New York.
