Up From The Cape A Plea For Republican Simplicity (1883)

Up From The Cape: A Plea For Republican Simplicity is a book written by Hezekiah Butterworth in 1883. The book is a plea to the American people to return to the values of simplicity and frugality that were championed by the founding fathers of the United States. Butterworth argues that America has become too focused on material possessions and that this is leading to a decline in moral values and a weakening of the republic. He suggests that Americans should return to a simpler way of life, one that emphasizes hard work, thrift, and self-reliance. The book is a call to action for all Americans to embrace these values and work towards a better future for themselves and their country. It is a fascinating look at the concerns and values of Americans in the late 19th century, and it remains relevant today as we continue to grapple with issues of materialism and consumerism in our society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
