It will afford me infinite pleasure if the pub- 

 lication of the following sheets, giving an ac- 

 count of my disappointments in America, 

 should have the desired effect — that of pre- 

 venting my countrymen from running head- 

 long into misery, as myself and many others 

 have done. The incontrovertible facts here 

 related will perhaps stagger many: those in- 

 terested they will probably ollend ; but to 

 such persons I shall only reply, by repeating 

 the old adage — " Truth may be blamed, but 

 it cannot be shamed." 



It may be proper to mention that mv first 

 design was to print the Tour in one volume; 

 the materials however increasing as the work 

 advanced, I thought it preferable, for the sake 

 of convenience, to divide it.
