Originally published in 1808, this work had long been out of print
before being revived in this 1876 edition, which is enhanced by a
biography of the author by her godson. A poet, letter-writer and
essayist, Anne Grant (1755-1838) lived in America between the ages
of three and thirteen, after which her family returned to Scotland.
Described by the author as a 'miscellany of description,
observation and detail', the book paints a charming picture of New
York life in the idyllic world of pre-revolutionary America. Grant
blends memories of her childhood in Albany with biographical
details of her friend Madame Schuyler, of whom she wrote 'whatever
culture my mind received, I owe to her'. Greatly admired by Scott
and Southey, the book provides sketches of New York life alongside
anecdotes of the Indians. For more information on this author, see
