FLEMING, WILLIAM. Four days at Niagara Falls, in North America. 

 Manchester: Love and Barton. 1840. 



A sympathetic and detailed record of a visit made in the summer of 

 1835. The author was interested in the scientific aspects of the region 

 as well as in the scenery. He was evidently much impressed, for he 

 says: "The emotion produced in me by the sight and sound of these 

 Falls has exceeded any I ever before received from natural objects, 

 excepting perhaps that derived from a glance into the crater of Aetna."

 Hall. 1882. Pp. 6-7. 



According to Morley, " Of the great glory of the American continent, 

 Cobden thought as rapturously as any boaster in the land." How high 

 Cobden's estimate was will appear from the following story also related 

 by Morley: "Once in after years, a friend who was about to visit the 

 United States, asked him (Cobden) whether it would be worth while to 

 go far out of his way for the sake of seeing the Falls of Niagara. ' Yes, 

 most assuredly,' was Cobden's reply. ' There are two sublimities in 

 nature — one of rest, the other of motion. The sublimity of rest is a 

 distant view of the Alps ; the sublimity of motion is Niagara.' *

The author, the director of the Botanical Garden at Havana, writes 

 of the feelings and reflections inspired by the Falls rather than of the Falls 

 themselves. He was at the Falls during July and August.
