May 1841. 



FROM New York I enjoyed the great beauty 

 of the sail up the Hudson, 116 miles, to Red- 

 Hook. We passed what is styled the High- 

 lands, a bold picturesque and rocky shore, 

 winding through mountains covered with wood, 

 and having beyond them a rich cultivated 

 country extending far into the interior.
