With a Map. 2 vols, post 8vo. 1l. 1s.

"Mr. Olmsted gives his readers a wealth of facts conveyed in a long stream of anecdotes, the exquisite humour of many of them making parts of his book as pleasant to read as a novel of the first class."—Athenæum.

"This book is a compendious recast of Mr. Olmsted's invaluable volumes on the Slave States; volumes full of acute, pithy, and significant delineations, which bear in every line the stamp of an honest and unexaggerating, but close and clear-sighted study of those States. We know of no book in which significant but complex social facts are so fairly, minutely, and intelligently photographed; in which there is so great intrinsic evidence of impartiality; in which all the evidence given is at once so minute and so essential; and the inferences deduced so practical, broad, and impressive."—Spectator.
