PREFACE.
Notwithstanding the occasional references in this little work to systems and forms of government, it was not intended by the writer to have any political bias, his object being merely to relate the adventures of the hero of the story in another land. In doing this, however, he found it necessary to describe briefly the state of affairs existing in the New Continent, and to compare its people and the conditions under which they lived with those of our own.
