Synopsis
Excerpt from Passes, or the Beauties of Transportation
During an intercourse of twenty years with pass-solicitors, I have had occasion to gaze on many sides of human nature.
Being of an analytical turn of mind, I could not help forming opinions of my own, on what I saw and what I heard.
These Opinions gradually ripened into arguments, and they, in turn almost imperceptibly shaped them selves into chapters.
