''Domestic Manners of the Americans'' is a travelogue written by Fanny Trollope, a British author who visited the United States in the early 19th century. The book is a critical commentary on American society and culture, particularly the domestic customs and habits of Americans. Trollope describes her experiences traveling through various cities and towns, observing the behavior and manners of the people she encounters. She discusses topics such as the treatment of slaves, the lack of refinement in American society, and the differences between American and European customs. The book is a fascinating insight into the early days of American society, as seen through the eyes of a British observer. Despite its criticisms, ''Domestic Manners of the Americans'' is also a valuable historical document that sheds light on the cultural differences between America and Europe during this period.We were by no means the only sufferers by the accident; frogs, lizards, locusts, katiedids, beetles, and hornets, had the whole of their various tenements disturbed, and testified their displeasure very naturally by annoying us as much as possible in return; we were bit, we were stung, we were scratched; and when, at last, we succeeded in raising ourselves from the venerable ruin, we presented as woeful a spectacle as can well be imagined. We shook our (not ambrosial) garments, and panting with heat, stings, and vexation, moved a few paces from the scene of our misfortune, and again sat down; but this time it was upon the solid earth.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.
