James Flint (1781-1855) was a Scottish economist who went to America mainly to study prices, wages, land questions and labor problems. He wrote letters home describing America while traveling in New York and Pennsylvania, through Pittsburgh, then down the Ohio River to Cincinnati and the Falls of the Ohio. He addresses a wide range of subjects on American culture and the political and economic systems. Some topics mentioned in the Table of Contents are: Slavery and its effects, morals and manners, education, generosity, lawyers, doctors, clergy, Justices of the Peace, state legislatures, laying out of new towns and roads, paper money, Indians, manufactures, elections, a Methodist camp meeting, circuit court, and Americanisms.
