Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paris in America In a recent lecture, after commenting on the intense sympa thy which existed twenty or thirty years ago between Ameri cans and Frenchmen, when all seemed inspired with the friend ship of Lafayette and Washington, 111. Laboulaye asked: Why is it that this friendship has cooled? Why is it that the name of American is not so dear to us as it was in those days? It is due to slavery. We had always hoped that something would be done to put an end to an institution which was regarded by the founders of the Constitution as fraught with peril to the country; but, instead of this, the partisans of slavery having oh tained the ascendant, have continually been engaged in eiforts to perpetuate it and extend its limits so that we have ceased to feel the same interest in Americans. He concluded the same lecture with the words: America is the future of civilization America is the future of liberty. When her territory shall be come as populous as that of France, freemen will occupy it, with a system of. Government which will, with irre sistible force, draw all the world to folpow the example. It is for this that I am so interested in American progress; it is for this that I wish to direct your attention toward it. You.

This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Parisian Pastor's Glance at America The political and social institutions of America, its material prosperity, and the manners of the people, have been frequently described by transatlantic travellers. But there is one phase of American society, by no means its least important or least characteristic, which has been hitherto comparatively neglected, especially by French writers, and has scarcely ever been pre sented in its true and proper light. I mean, its moral, religious and ecclesiastical aspect. Though the principles on which it is founded do not command, in France at least, the sympathies of the multitude, it was naturally enough this phase of American character which chiefly attracted the regards of the distin guished divine, to whose pen we are indebted for the unpre tending but very interesting remarks here offered in an English garb.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parisian Sights and French Principles, Seen Through American Spectacles: Second Series I Wish to take off my hat to my reader. A French bow would be more graceful, but it will take more time, and a greater flourish. I prefer to make his acquaintance with the plain but sincere Yankee nod. In bidding him good morning, I have only to say, that if he read these pages, he will find some truths frankly told, and some opinions frankly expressed. I have admired Paris, the Magnificent, but I have also inquired its cost. I have asked why Republicanism was a curse in France, and a blessing in America. In short, having some leisure hours during the past winter, I employed them in not only examining the outer world of this modern Athens, but in endeavoring to solve its inner life. The result is the following chapters; abruptly various, and full of contrasts like their topic. I commenced my notes for my own amusement. I publish them without being asked for two reasons; firstly, to tell the friendly public what I can make known to them in no other way, and secondly, because I have the curiosity, vanity if you please, to try my hand at making a book. Having brought you, gentle reader, to the threshold of my apartment, your courtesy will not allow you to do less, for my hospitality, than to take off your hat also, and walk in.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Nobility: From the French of Pierre De Coulevain America is no longer the New World, but the Modern World. It is a world which ought to awaken our interest and our fellow-feeling, for, whilst owing its origin to us, it has grown and developed outside the routine that we abhor and in the midst of the liberty of which we dream. We fondly imagine that America, as a republic, must be the ideal nation of equality.
