Printed privately in 1826, Anne Newport Royall's Sketches of History, Life and Manners in the United States caused quite a stir, as did most of her publications. Considering herself to be the guardian of democracy (she later became a friend of John Quincy Adams), Royall used her works to expose corruption and bad dealings wherever she went, with a boldness that was remarkable for an era obsessed with gentility and ""womanly virtue"". ""Sketches"" catalogs Royall's travels from Louisiana to Maine, including Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Albany, Springfield, Hartford, Worcester, Boston, and New Haven, noting each city's population, industry, physical description and modes of available transportation, as well as regional dialects, modes of dress and the character of the city's residents.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Anne Newport Royall was born in Maryland. Her father, William Newport, may have been an illegitimate son of one of the Calverts, and all that is known of her mother is that she had relatives in Virginia named Anderson. After a wandering childhood, spent chiefly in frontier Pennsylvania, Anne returned to Virginia and entered in menial capacity the household of William Royall, scholar, gentleman farmer, Revolutionary veteran, and ardent Mason.
Anne's husband after his death left her the bulk of his property, but after ten years of litigation, spent by her chiefly in the South, his other heirs succeeded in breaking the will, leaving her penniless at the age of fifty-four. During the illness and poverty she suffered in the following months she was assisted by friendly Masons and, in her disappointing struggle for a government pension as wife of a Revolutionary officer, by no less an advocate than John Quincy Adams.
In 1824 she started out to earn her living by traveling over the United States and publishing accounts of her journeys. She was an ardent pro-Mason and anti-Evangelical, for which she suffered both adulation and assault. Her attitude against the Presbyterians led to her trial and conviction in Washington in 1829 on the trumped-up, obsolete charge of being a common scold. After this unpleasant experience she found it difficult to travel, so, aided by her life-long friend, Mrs. Sarah Stack, she embarked on the proprietorship and editorship of a small, independent newspaper in Washington.
Her two papers, Paul Pry (Dec. 3, 1831 - Nov. 19, 1836) and The Huntress (Dec. 2, 1836 - July 24, 1854) ran in succession from 1831 to a few months before her death. In 1848 her pension was at last awarded, but after various fees were paid it proved to be only a trifle. In her last years she was often miserably poor. She died at her home and was buried in the Congressional Cemetery.
Between 1826 and 1831 she published ten volumes of travels, of which the first, Sketches of History, Life and Manners in the United States, by a Traveller (1826) is probably in all respects the best. It was followed by The Black Book, or a Continuation of Travels in the United States (3 vols. , 1828 - 29), Mrs. Royall's Pennsylvania (2 vols. , 1829); Mrs. Royall's Southern Tour (3 vols. , 1830 - 31), and Letters from Alabama (1830). All bear the faults of hasty execution and reveal the gaps in the author's early education, which her later wide reading never filled. She was given to personalities of doubtful taste, and the violent expression of both her sympathies and antipathies is often tiresome. Withal, she was a tireless traveler, a shrewd observer, a careful verifier of facts, and a strictly honest writer. Her own vigorous, aggressive personality pervades her work; she is always readable and nearly always reliable. There is scarcely a city or town of any importance in the United States of 1826-30 that her keen observant pen did not sketch.
Her "pen portraits" include nearly 2, 000 of the great and near-great of her day. She was the author of a novel, The Tennessean (1827), which in plot, execution, and characters is one of the worst ever written in America. She tried her hand at drama with a play, The Cabinet, or Large Parties in Washington, the text of which has disappeared, but which was given one performance at the Masonic Hall in Washington. Her works deserve to survive as valuable sources for the study of the social history of the United States. In her journalism as well she was always vigorous and straightforward, but often amateurish and ungrammatical. She was grossly personal, given to tirades against her opponents, and long praises of her benefactors. She was steadfastly loyal to her cause, or to anyone who befriended her. Her kindness to "fallen women" in an age without charity and her devastating generosity in her brief periods of prosperity show the violence of her likes and dislikes, and her sincere consistency in both. At once pathetic and admirable, the Miss Flite of the Capitol, with tongue and eyes that were a terror to any dishonest congressman, "Godless Anne Royall, " yet with more true charity about her than the "saints" against whom she railed, she is a figure to be included in some lesser national gallery.
Royall was vigorous editor of her own two papers "Paul Pry" and "The Huntress", noted for her ability to uncover graft in any department of government. She advocated the veto of the United States Bank charter, Sunday mail transportation, non-partisan tariff regulations, no nullification, sound money, tolerance for Roman Catholics, no union of church and state, territorial expansion, internal improvements, liberal appropriations for scientific research, and state rights in the matter of slavery. She attained a kind of unenviable fame throughout the country, many enemies, a few stanch friends. From 1826 to 1831 she published 10 accounts of her travels, which remain valuable sources of social history.

Anne and William Royall were married in 1797. The couple lived comfortably together for fifteen years until his death in 1812. His death touched off litigation between Anne and Royall's relatives, who claimed that they were never legally married and that his will leaving her most of his property was a forgery.
