Account of a trip to America.Here's how he begins his description of San Francisco: ' 'Serene, indifferent to fate,Thou sittest at the Western Gate; Thou seest the white seas fold their tents,Oh, warder of two continents;Thou drawest all things, small and great,To thee, beside the Western Gate.' This is what Bret Harte has written of the great city of San Francisco, and for the past fortnight I have been wondering what made him do it. There is neither serenity nor indifference to be found in these parts; and evil would it be for the continents whose wardship were intrusted to so reckless a guardian.'
