er countries, to visit the
baths in summer, whether sick or well. The distance is twenty-seven
miles. On our passage, we saw but one interesting object--the Hudson
falls, which river we had left at Albany, and reached again nine
miles from Caldwell, coming from the west.]

These falls are, however, under the name of Glenn's Falls. A village of
the same name is built in their vicinity, on the rocky shores of the
river. The principal fall is forty feet high. These falls are not to be
numbered among the largest, but among the handsomest in the United
States. A constant mist arises from them, and, as the sun shone very
brilliantly, several rainbows were seen at the same time. In the rock,
as at Niagara, were some remarkable and deep cavities. At the base of
the small island which divides the chief fall into two parts,
a remarkable cave appears below the falls, leading to the other side of
the rock. The Hudson is partly navigable above Glenn's Falls, and two
miles farther up, feeds a navigable canal, with thirteen locks, which
runs seven miles north of the Hudson, and there joins Champlain canal.

These falls are known under the name of Glenn's Falls. A village of

into two parts, the principal fall, which is forty feet high. But
there are, both above and below the principal falls, a number of
smaller falls, which we could approach with ease, as the water was
very low. These falls are not indeed to be numbered among the
largest, but among the handsomest falls which I have seen. A
constant mist arises from them, and, as the sun shone very
brilliantly, we saw several rainbows at the same time. In the rock,
as at Niagara, we observed some remarkable and deep cavities.... At

The party arrived at Saratoga at two o'clock in the afternoon, and
stopped at Congress Hall. The greater part of the company had already
departed, among those who remained was the governor of the state of
