North America V. II is a historical travelogue written by Anthony Trollope, a renowned British novelist and travel writer. The book is the second volume of Trollope's travel account of his journey through North America in the mid-19th century. In this volume, Trollope continues his exploration of the United States, visiting various cities and regions including Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, and Washington D.C. He provides a detailed and insightful commentary on the social, political, and economic conditions of the country, as well as its people, culture, and customs.Trollope's observations are often critical, and he does not shy away from commenting on the issues of slavery, race relations, and the political tensions that were prevalent in the country at the time. He also offers his opinions on the American character and the differences between American and British society.Overall, North America V. II is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in American history and culture, as well as those who enjoy travel writing and literary non-fiction. Trollope's engaging prose and keen eye for detail make this book a valuable addition to any bookshelf.As regards the third point, Washington, from the lie of the land, can hardly have been said to be centrical at any time. Owing to the irregularities of the coast it is not easy of access by railways from different sides. Baltimore would have been far better. But as far as we can now see, and as well as we can now judge, Washington will soon be on the borders of the nation to which it belongs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
