A Sketch of the Internal Condition of the United States of America, and of their Political Relations with Europe. By a Russian. Translated from the French, by an American. With Notes. Baltimore. E. J. Coale. 8vo. pp. 163.

THIS work is attributed to a gentleman, who has resided some years in the United States, in an official capacity. His opportunities for observation have been considerable, and his book affords sufficient evidence of his having made good use of them. It is, what it purports to be, a mere sketch of the internal condition of the United States, and is not likely to call the attention of our citizens on account of any important information, which they can expect from it. It will probably, however, be very generally interesting on another score, that of affording gratification to the natural curiosity, which influences alike the prince and the peasant, the civilized man and the savage, to inquire what is thought of him by his neighbours and cotemporaries. The citizens of this republic have been charged with an extraordinary share of this feeling, and it would not be difficult to show abundant reason why this should be the case. We are very far from denying or concealing the fact, which indeed we consider as a result of that general intellectual activity, which belongs to the hopeful youth of nations, as well as to that of individuals. There is somewhat of an excessive desire of fame, it may be, an over-eagerness

For the world's debt to deeds of high degree.

But it will be a worse state of things, when we shall have become callous to censure and indifferent to reproof.

It is not now, however, the question, what we think of ourselves, but what M. Poletica thinks of us; and it is gratifying to find the opinion of an impartial foreigner so favorable to our country and its institutions; the rather, as his education, habits, and situation naturally lead him to prefer a form of government so unlike our His opinions respecting the condition of the United States, are, with some few and slight exceptions, equally just and liberal; they do credit to his own candor and skill in discriminating, as well as to the manners and institutions which are the subject of them.

own.

The following extract, from the "General Considerations," with which his book begins, will show the attention which the author has has bestowed on the causes of things.

"From the irrevocable recognition of the political independence of the United States of America, by the treaty of Paris, of 1783, until towards the present time, the world has seen them prosper with a rapidity without example in the history of the most civilized nations.

"Natural and immutable causes, joined to others entirely accidental and transient, have concurred in producing the extraordinary developement of industry, in a country so recently emancipated, and so far from the great focus of civilization.

Among the permanent causes, we must assign the first rank to the geographical situation of the United States, which gives them all the advantages of an insular position, in regard to external security, without excluding those which result from the possession of a territory immense in extent, and susceptible of every species of culture. To be perfectly secure in the peaceful enjoyment of this vast and beautiful domain, the North Americans never had, nor have they now, any other but tribes of Indian hunters to contend with, which daily and visibly diminish by the necessary effects of their precarious and wandering life. The great extent of fertile lands, and the abundance of the means of subsistence in the United States are the more favorable to the population, as it is naturally active, laborious, and enterprising. Thus have we seen it double itself in the space of twenty years succeeding the war of their Independence. This single fact in their statistical annals has not since been repeated.

"To this principal cause of the so rapidly increasing prosperity of the United States, we should undoubtedly add the salutary influence of a government as imperceptible in its progress as in its operations. Here, locality has again been favorable to that country. The absence of all immediate neighbourhood that could be dreaded, enables them to afford to their republican institutions all the latitude
