About This Book

Diario de viaje que combina descripciones urbanas y arquitectónicas con observaciones sobre la vida cotidiana y el comercio: visita edificios públicos y plazas, contempla estatuas y la bahía, recorre mercados y puestos, y entra en fábricas para describir maquinaria y oficios. El autor contrasta estilos de vivienda y costumbres domésticas, comenta la organización de servicios como la tesorería y la aduana, y ofrece notas sobre tarifas y cifras comerciales. Entre anécdotas y reflexiones lingüísticas, predominan imágenes de mercado, escenas callejeras y meditaciones sobre rasgos sociales y la modernidad estadounidense.
