Excerpt from The Emigrant's Hand-Book: Or a Directory and Guide for Persons Emigrating to the United States of America; Containing Advice and Directions to Emigrants, but Especially to Those Designing to Settle in the Great Western Valley; And Also, a Concise Description of the States of Ohio A Person about to emigrate to, or visit a foreign country, naturally feels desirous of becoming acquainted with its geography and resources, and the condition and habits of the people among whom he is about to take up his residence. The want of this knowledge has long been lamented by thousands who have come to the shores of the United States, and it has been the regret of philanthropists, who have witnessed the evil consequences of a hasty and immature change of location, that no one has hitherto supplied the great desideratum so much needed by the emigrant - information. The "Emigrant's Hand-Book" is published with the view of giving, in as brief a manner as the nature of the subject will allow of, such information as is required by those emigrating from Europe; and no better method can be adapted to this end, than by pointing out the present condition of the United States, and the real prospects those visiting our shores may indulge in.
