Published in London just as the idea of an “American” was becoming a reality, Letters introduced Europeans to America’s landscape, customs, and then-new people.

Their reafoning is not Only jufl; it is " vehement," as Mr. Hume fays of the eloquence of Demofthenes, "'Tisdifdain, "anger, boldnefs, freedom, involved in A continual Itream "of argument."
