The communications from the realm of nature, the animals, plants, etc., will no less arrest the attention of the reader, inasmuch as the wise Creator has placed an entirely new theatre of his miracles before the eyes of rational man. But the most important part of this publication will no doubt be found in the account of the fate that awaits most of the unfortunate people who leave Germany to seek uncertain prosperity in the New World, but find instead, if not death, most surely an oppressive servitude and slavery. Nothing has been changed in the author's work, except that some notes from other writers of repute, confirming the author's narrative, have been added on the margin, and that the orthography has been made to conform to that in general use. The little work is herewith warmly recommended to the reader.
