Excerpt from Lady's Second Journey Round the World: From London to the Cape of Good Hope, Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Celebes, Ceram, the Moluccas, Etc., California, Panama, Peru, Ecuador, and the United States To the Americans, also, I am deeply indebted for many kind attentions, and for free passages in their ships and magnificent steamers. In no country, Dutch India alone excepted, did I receive from the inhabitants more marks of distinction than from the citizens of the United States; and from the bottom of my heart I thank them.
