[Domestic Manners of the Americans by Fanny Trollope]@TWC D-Link bookDomestic Manners of the Americans CHAPTER 29 5/20
Mr.Flint's History of the Mississippi Valley is a work of great interest, and information, and will, I hope, in time find its way to England, where I think it is much more likely to be appreciated than in America. Dr.Channing is a writer too well known in England to require my testimony to his great ability.
As a preacher he has, perhaps, hardly a rival any where.
This gentleman is an Unitarian, and I was informed by several persons well acquainted with the literary character of the country, that nearly all their distinguished men were of this persuasion. Mr.Pierpoint is a very eloquent preacher, and a sweet poet.
His works are not so well known among us as .they ought to be.
Mr. Everett has written some beautiful lines, and if I may judge from the specimens of his speeches, as preserved in the volumes intitled "Eloquence of the United States," I should say that he shone more as a poet than an orator.
