«ENSAYO POLÍTICO SOBRE EL REINO DE LA NUEVA ESPAÑA», BY THE GERMAN SECRET AGENT & SPY ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT.

It was published in 1799 so technically doesn't count, but Isaac Weld's Travels Through The States of North America.

Answer me: why did he write in Spanish? Cause I’m going to be very frustrated if your decision to post the Spanish title was just a quirky, unnecessary flexing of your Spanish language muscles, on a book that was written in German and has no reason to be referred to in one particular non-English language. Cause that would be peak autism. Holy shit.

can you tell me more about it? i cannot find information on the internet.
>>19233970
yes, i found that one as well as dickens', however as i understand it they are highly critical of and generally disgusted with the American people. i am not interested in that. i want to read a travelogue written by someone who likes the place that he is in and tells of it.
