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 offend ; 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 my 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.
