Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dollars and Democracy
A year spent in the United States, under very fortunate conditions, has given me opportunities for observing some of the national virtues and shortcomings, from the highest to the lowest (if the Spirit of Democracy will permit such invidi ous distinctions), such as are not always available to the traveller whose time is more limited. At all events, the common taunt of Americans against the foreigner who spends a fortnight in their country and returns home considering him self fully qualified to write an exhaustive treatise on their social and political institutions, is not applicable in the present case.
