At the start of the narrative, the author introduces his intentions for writing the book, stating that he seeks to reveal both the truths about America and the challenges faced by English emigrants. Money recounts his initial impressions upon arriving in New York, where he notices a lack of courtesy among the population and details the various social types he encounters. He reflects on the disparities between American and British hospitality, offering anecdotes about his voyage and experiences with the American press. Through his observations and critiques, he sets the stage for a broader exploration of life in America, aiming to provide a fair representation of its people and society.
