<p>The Scottish writer offers his perspective on America and its inhabitants. Apparently unapproving of a country lacking a royal family, he finds the Americans somewhat distressing but interesting.</p>

Men and Manners in America

Augustus M. Kelley Pubs

First published in 1827, this compelling novel paints a vivid portrait of life in Glasgow and, most especially, life in the old Glasgow University, just before the Industrial Revolution. Both warmly sympathetic and gently satirical, the novel also emphasizes the confusion and futility of war.

History & Criticism

Throughout Men and Manners in America, Thomas Hamilton (1789-1842) describes with scathing honesty, and a sometimes sarcastic wit, the political and social structures of the newly independent United States. Hamilton journeyed to America in 1830, determined to write a conclusive and impartial account of its democracy. On his return, however, he was desperately aware that this impartiality had produced writings with the potential to deeply offend. Men and Manners in America was, in fact, published almost a year later (1833) when Hamilton finally felt duty-bound to speak the truth. His writings serve as a discerning and thorough study of the beginnings of American democracy, and as a delightfully unintended example of the 'prejudices natural to an [nineteenth- century] Englishman'. Volume 1 describes his experiences of New York, Boston, New England, and Philadelphia.

His book was published almost a year later (1833) when Hamilton finally felt duty-bound to speak the truth. Volume 2 describes Hamilton's experiences in Washington, New Orleans, Charleston, Niagara, and Quebec, continuing his exploration of their political circumstances and elaborating on matters including climate and religion. Hamilton concludes with a vindication of his austere observations as the duty of one who is attempting to address 'fallacies affecting the welfare of a community', and invites any American visiting England to offer a similar critique.
