Opis: The American as He Is (Classic Reprint) - Butler Nicholas Murray

Excerpt from The American as He Is

The chapters of this book were delivered as lectures before the University of Copenhagen in September, 1908, in response to the invitation of the Rector and Faculty of that University.

It is not easy to speak dispassionately of the institutions and the civilization of one's own country. The most ardent patriot sees many things that he would improve; the most detached critic feels many things that are surpassingly good. Only the historian of the future can hold the balance even between the strong and the weak aspects of a nation's life. My task was less ambitious and less difficult.It was to respond as best I could to the invitation of a sister university, rich in years and in service to scholarship and to science, to set out some of the aspects of American life and to draw, in large lines, a picture of that part of present-day civilization which the world knows as American.
