LETTERS OP HIBERNICUS. 



TO THE EDITOR OF THE WZW-YORK STATESMAN. 



June 9th, 1820. 

 Sir, 



I SEND you extracts of letter? which T Lave 

 received from a highly respectP^J^le foreigner, on 

 the subject of the Western ^nd Northern Canals. 

 It appears that he is on a vOur of observation — my 

 acquaintance with hjii commenced last autumn, 

 at Mrs. Mann's hoarding-house in New-York, 

 and has since grown into intimacy. His letters 

 occasional^ glance on subjects of natural science, 

 sometii>-€S on the peculiarity of our manners, and 

 the s^te of our social and political institutions. 

 TI>c?y were obviously written in great haste, ex- 

 hibiting no marks of limce labor, and probably 

 were never revised, corrected, or copied by the 

 writer. If these which I now send to you shall 

 be favorably considered, I shall, if I have leisure 



furnish you with more.
