_Dickens, Charles._ American notes. New York, 1842.
Dickens, in 1841, traveled in steamboats from Pittsburg to

United States, at the time grated harshly on the ears of our
people; but afterward, they grew strong and wise enough to
smile at them. The book is to-day, like Mrs. Trollope's,
entertaining reading for an American.
