As my visit to England and Spain, were both unexpected, I was, consequently, a stranger in both countries; and I took the liberty of calling on Mr. Hackley, the American consul, for the purpose of consulting with him, on the best mode of reaching my place of destination. 1 found this worthy and intelligent officer, disposed to give me every facility in his power; and he insisted upon my lodging at his house, assuring me, at the same time, that, notwithstanding the extent and importance of Cadiz, a good hotel was not to be found in the place; and, that the only one which w as tolerable, was the Quatro Nacionet, at that period filled with strangers. Such, Mr. Hackley observed, was the want of accommodation, that the supercargoes of vessels generally lodged in the houses of their consignees; and, that at one time, he had upwards of forty in family. Under such circumstances, I could not but accept the hospitable invitation; and my baggage was sent for from the packet. I seized upon the first opportunity to stroll through the city, and was particularly struck with its extreme cleanliness; the streets being neatly paved in the centre, and having flag-stones for side-walks. Cadiz may be said to be surrounded by the sea, in fact, it is built on an isthmus, which projects considerably towards the sea. There is a fine view from the westward. The air is mild and balsamic; and the refreshing breeze tempers the winter, and moderates the excessive heat of summer. The Sirocco or Solano, which is the hot wind from the coast of Africa, is felt in the most distressing manner; the air is burning, a dry mist obscures the rays of the sun, and the inhabitants close their doors and windows, to exclude the suffocating blast. This wind, however, seldom...

Book Description
Arguing that American colonists who declared their independence in 1776 remained tied to England by both habit and inclination, Jennifer Clark traces the new Americans' struggle to come to terms with their loss of identity as British, and particularly English, citizens. Americans' attempts to negotiate the new Anglo-American relationship are revealed in letters, newspaper accounts, travel reports, essays, song lyrics, short stories and novels, which Clark suggests show them repositioning themselves in a transatlantic context newly defined by political revolution. Chapters examine political writing as a means for Americans to explore the Anglo-American relationship, the appropriation of John Bull by American writers, the challenge the War of 1812 posed to the reconstructed Anglo-American relationship, the Paper War between American and English authors that began around the time of the War of 1812, accounts by Americans lured to England as a place of poetry, story and history, and the work of American writers who dissected the Anglo-American relationship in their fiction. Carefully contextualised historically, Clark's persuasive study shows that any attempt to examine what it meant to be American in the New Nation, and immediately beyond, must be situated within the context of the Anglo-American relationship.
