I was not disappointed in them. They are grand in spite of everything having been done to spoil the place. There are great factories close by, worked by the water, the banks are linded with lifts & railways of all sorts to pull you up & down. You are pursued by guides & drivers & men selling shell boxes, photos & mugs with "Niagara" on there, as mementos & a huge advertisement of "Carters little Liver pills" is just above one fall!..'

It is just like Marseilles are one of the Sout European towns the same narrow ill paved streets, & the same street houses with the plaster peeling of & muels with bells and tassels, only there are no beautiful mountains & no interesting buildings & hardly any trees, which most tropical towns have...'
