be put to, the things to be seen in the various towns, and gives a number of hints which 

 will be useful to the English visitor. He is quite right as to the interest and advantage 

 of a trip to America, however brief, and his pages will do as much to smooth difficulties 

 out of the way of the traveller as any volume we know. 



Cook's Excursionist and Tourist A<lct rtisf-r, July 2, 1.SS3. 

 It is impossible to read the pages in Mr. Greenwood's book without being struck at the 

 pleasant, easy style in which they are written, and, at the same time, at the care and the 

 accuracy with which such important details as statistics are dealt with, where they come 

 in the path of the writer. Altogether, those who contemplate taking a tour in the States 

 will find this work an intelligent companion. 



Literary World, July 6, 1883. 

 In this convenient little volume, the author endeavours to give practical and useful 

 information to the intending and possible traveller. 



Stratford and South Essex Advertiser, June 8, 1SS3. 



In a sketch of a mere holiday-run over a vast tract of country we cannot expect a 

 very profound study of the manners and customs of a people, but we may get a good deal 

 of useful information conveyed in a readable style. In this respect Mr. Greenwood is 

 decidedly successful. 



Leamington Spa Courier, June 23, 18S3. 



This work is designed for tourists in the "United States and Canada, and contains a 

 large fund of information, on such subjects as prices, distances, routes, hotel and 

 railway charges, which all persons visting America for the first time will find exceed ingly 

 useful. So far as we are aware, much of the information here given was not previously 

 accessible in a convenient form, and therefore the work merits special commendation. 

 Most of the chief features of all the large towns and cities of America are described, and 

 the scenery of the country on the chief railway routes is also touched upon. Altogether 

 it is a very useful handbook, and intending -visitors to America may consult it with 

 advantage. 



The British Trade Journal, June 1, 1883. 



This is an intelligent record of a brief sojourn in Greater Britain. The author visited 

 the leading cities in the States, kept his eyes and ears open, and gained a great deal of 

 information, which he has put together in a compact form. The chapters dealing with 

 the American manufacturing centres contain interesting matter. 



The Warehouseman & Draper's Trade Journal, June 2, 1883. 

 In this little volume Mr. Greenwood has given the results of his experience during a 

 brief holiday in the United States and Canada, and has done so in a form specially useful 

 to those who may think of making a similar tour, as it contains a large amount of informa- 

 tion presented in an easy style, and a very practical manner. The book is well worth reading 

 by those who do not intend to cross the Atlantic. 



The Country News and Chronicle [Stockport), 3\me 8, 1S83. 

 The work is written in a readable style, and contains in small compass a mass of 

 interesting information for those who have not yet had a voyage across the Atlantic. 



The Cabinet Maker, June 1, 18S3. 



A smart little volume .... It gives a most pleasant account of the States and Canada 

 as they present themselves to a "man on pleasure bent,'' who, by the way also ''had a 

 frugal mind." Mr. Greenwood has in this volume treated of things not usually observed 

 by the ordinary tourist, and his work is the more valuable in consequence. 



The Field, July 14, 1883. 

 New York, Boston, Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa, Toronto, Niagara, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, 

 Chicago, Cincinnati, and Louisville, St. Louis and Pittsburg, the Oil Regions, Richmond, 

 Baltimore, "Washington, Philadelphia, and several manufacturing centres are here in turn 

 discussed in their superficial aspects, with advice on emigration, &c. The latter non- 

 descriptive part will probably be found of some use to those who want to know everything 

 before thev start. 



The Queen, July 7, 1883. 



In a moderate-sized volume the writer narrates his experience in a recent " run over the 

 States" giving his narrative that practical and suggestive turn which fits it to betaken in 

 hand as a general guide by any who may be meditating the same trip. His observations 

 on steamers, baggage, hotel life, railways, and kindred subjects are anion;;- the most useful 

 features of the book, and lie has instructive remarks to make concerning the principal 

 cities and places visited or likely to be visited by the ordinary excursionist across the 

 Atlantic. 



The Colonies and India. 



To a traveller who uses his eyes and exercises ordinary intelligence, as Mr. Greenwood 

 evidently did, a run to the States is a matter of vast importance, for it gives opportunity 

 for personal study of peoples and places, about which much that is wrong has been 

 written, mixed with much that is right. We can only hope that some day, when the 

 Canadian Pacific Railway is finished, Mr. Greenwood will tell us what there is to see on 

 the way to New "Westminster and Victoria, along the route of that railway.
