Excerpt from Letters From the South, Vol. 1 of 2 Dear Frank, In order to lay a solid foundation for my travels, I ought first to tell how this new world was made; and, secondly, how it was peopled; since, if it had never been made or peopled, it would not be worth writing about. There are two ways of making a world, lately invented by the geologists - one by fire, the other by water.

Here is an ancestor for every state in the union, which is enough, in all conscience, to content a reasonable man. But there are at least twenty more papas putting in for little America, which shows how anxious every body was to claim this noble offspring. Each of these supported 'his theory with a pertinacity proportioned to its enor mity; and, perhaps, there never was such a mass of absurdity as has been generated by this sub ject, useless in itself, and now beyond the reach of human research to determine. It was to be hoped that the subject had been laid at rest in the learned lumber of the times, never to be revived. But a philosopher of our own country, whose name may be found in all the newspapers, has lately revived it; and did, what was thought - utterly impossible - produced new ab surdities.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
