Hall's account of his travels is "shrewd, clever, humorous, and without prejudice" (Sabin) and the appendix includes essays on slavery, government and the American character. This second edition has a new preface concerning the conduct of the officer who commanded the forces of Upper Canada after Brock's death and Tecumseh's comments as presented in his speech of September 18th, 1813.
