were spent at Liver-
pool
America.
Being the first day of the week,
we attended the meetings at Liverpool
the rest of the day at our Cousin A. B.'s, at Mile-
end
Captain R. B. of the Romulus, an agreeable, con-
sistent friend, from Hudson City, in the State of
New-York.
In the morning cousin T. B.
kindly conducted me to the Lyceum; a
splendid
public establishment of the nature of a news-room
or
coffee-house, and library. Afterwards, accom-
panied by my wife and
children, we paid a visit to
the Asylum for the Blind ; an institution well
worthy
the support of the wealthy, where many persons
who have lost
their sight, are instructed in various
branches of business, by which they
are enabled to
pass their time usefully, and agreeably to them-
selves. After visiting this institution, we walked
to the Botanic Garden.
Our relation being a sub-
scriber, had the privilege of introducing us
as
strangers; and we spent a pleasant hour or two,
having, in the
compass of a few acres of land, an
opportunity of seeing a vast variety of
plants, flowers,
shrubs, and trees, natives of every quarter of the
world, alive and flourishing as in the countries
from which they are
brought. Amongst them I
noticed the banana and the sugar cane.
