Domestic Manners Of The Americans (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162660141)

Domestic Manners of the Americans is a travelogue written by Fanny Trollope, a British author, in 1832. The book provides a detailed account of her experiences and observations during her travels across the United States. Trollope's observations are often critical and satirical, as she comments on various aspects of American society, including politics, religion, and manners. She also provides insights into the daily lives of Americans, describing their homes, food, and clothing. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of American life, and includes anecdotes and stories from Trollope's travels. Domestic Manners of the Americans was a controversial book when it was first published, as it was seen as a scathing critique of American society. However, it has since become a valuable historical document, providing a unique perspective on the United States during the early 19th century.We were by no means the only sufferers by the accident; frogs, lizards, locusts, katiedids, beetles, and hornets, had the whole of their various tenements disturbed, and testified their displeasure very naturally by annoying us as much as possible in return; we were bit, we were stung, we were scratched; and when, at last, we succeeded in raising ourselves from the venerable ruin, we presented as woeful a spectacle as can well be imagined. We shook our (not ambrosial) garments, and panting with heat, stings, and vexation, moved a few paces from the scene of our misfortune, and again sat down; but this time it was upon the solid earth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
