488pp. (8vo) 21.4x13.1cm (8½x5½”), three-quarter green leather over marbled boards, gilt title and spine decorations, matching marbled endpapers and edges. The author visited Charleston, Camden, Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois to examine the question of whether British farmers would do well to emigrate to America. Faux was particularly critical of Morris Birkbeck's settlement in Illinois, and the book gained a reputation for being anti-American; however, Clark gives Faux credit for fairness, saying that his narrative "is as complimentary as it is critical."
