The author " visited this wonder on several occasions, and invariably 

 with renewed impressions of awe and grandeur." He " viewed the 

 American and the great Horse Shoe Fall from every available stand- 

 point." He gives a good account of the scenery and deplores its 

 profanation.

Stephen thought the Falls the most beautiful sight he had ever seen and 

 gave himself to the invention of some metaphysical speculations as to the 

 effect of water-falls on the human mind.

A rambling account of a visit made in October, 1864. Scenery, 

 servants, notables, jaundice, Yankees, and ennui — are all jumbled 

 together in the light gossipy style of a personal journal.

This visitor was interested in the music of the Falls and thought that 

 the theory that the sound is caused by air in the gorge vibrating like that 

 in an organ pipe worth attention.
