Here reissued in its 1819 second edition, this 1818 book by the political reformer William Cobbett (1763–1835) describes a year he spent farming on Long Island after fleeing England. Analysing the climate, soil, crops and economics, Cobbett disputes claims that the mid-West is an ideal destination for British emigrants.
