Book Synopsis Tour in America in 1798, 1799, And 1800 by : Richard Parkinson
Book excerpt: Profoundly disappointed with his experience farming in America, Richard Parkinson's Tour in America 1798, 1799, 1800, originally published in London in 1805, was expressly published to prevent emigration to America, seeking to save those who seek to make their fortunes in America from their ""delusions."" Parkinson decried both the poverty of the ""climate and soil"" and the shocking ideas of ""liberty and equality"" he found in America and his work showcased the cultural and material divide between England and her former colony.
