Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Impressions Mr. Braddon has honoured me with an invitation to write a foreword to his American Impressions. So far as I am aware, I have two qualifications, and two only, for the slight task imposed upon me. One is that I have visited the United States several times. The other is that I am imbued with the earnest hope that, with the lapse of time, relations between the two great English-speaking nationalities will become more and more friendly, and that their interests will come to be regarded as more and more common interests.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Impressions in America It has been my habit to inscribe my books to some friend or friends; but in this instance I am bewildered by the number of American friends, to each. Of whom, with almost equal propriety, I might offer such small tribute of gratitude as the dedication of a book can imply. I should be very unwilling to be thought mindful of the kindness of only him, or her, or them, whose names appeared in such an inscription. So that I feel it better to dedicate this record of innumerable acts of kindness and hospitality to each and all of those by whom they were shown.

Download or read book Over Here written by Hector MacQuarrie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Over Here: Impressions of America During a year spent largely in Pennsylvania, with occasional visits to other states, I have found little to criticise, but rather much to admire, much indeed to love. America now means a great deal to me, since it contains so many people that I have learnt to care for, so I want to let my cousins as well as my own countrymen know my thoughts. From the day that I landed in New York until the present moment, I have been treated with a kindliness that surpasses anything I thought possible in this world. I have been able to see, I hope, where misunderstanding has arisen, and, being a Highland Scotchman, I am able to express my feelings. I have written more about persons than about places. Sometimes I laugh a little, but never unkindly; and I do this because I realize that American people rather appreciate a joke even at their own expense. Often I have heard, over here, that it is impossible for an Englishman to see a good joke. A man told me once that the Kaiser was disguising his submarines as jests, with an obvious design. The idea was interesting to me, because if there is one thing that we Britons pride ourselves upon, it is our sense of humour. Of course, the explanation is obvious.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Impressions of an Englishman in America In offering to the public this book on my impressions of America I do not in any way attempt to criticise the Government, the laws, the institutions, or the policies of the United States. Many writers who visit America and afterwards write a book, see only one side of the country. Furnished with letters of introduction to the best known people, they are received with the splendid hospitality which rich Americans are so well noted for, but they have not had the opportunity of judging America as those who have to fight their way by the sweat of their brain, or their brow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America, Old and New: Impressions of Six Months in the States The scenery which Europe has chosen for its type of America is the prairie land of the Middle West. So far as any choice could be made this is not unfair, for there is more of this scenery in the States than of any other, but the impression created is after all a partial one. There are vast regions in America which for better or for worse are very different from the Middle West. There are, to begin with, the veritable deserts of the South Coast, the great Sahara of the continent. It stretches hundreds of miles inland from the Rockies, a wilderness of rocks and sands. Few level tracts occur; ridges and peaks of rock rise everywhere. Vegetation is seldom quite absent; it is vegetation of the classic desert type, thorny bushes, aloes and cactus trees, useless to man and beast. There is no American camel to crop their dry and bitter foliage; lizards and rattlesnakes are the native inheritors of the wilderness. Human eyes may look on the scene with various feelings. It is now the solemn waste of the Egyptian and Arabian sands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our American Cousins: Being Personal Impressions of the People and Institutions of the United States There is no country in the world, except his own, through which an Englishman will find it pleasanter to travel than America. He is so kindly received, so hospitably entertained, I may say so affectionately treated, that be naturally feels as much at home as if he were in England. Our cousins across the broad Atlantic, indeed, scarcely regard an Englishman as a stranger at all. They certainly do not behave towards him as if he were one. England is called the old country, the mother country, but never a foreign country. And the respect paid to the old land is extended to the travellers who come from it. Every courtesy and attention are given to him. He is told to make himself, and is made to feel himself, perfectly at home. If the visitor does not have a good time of it, or, to put it more emphatically, a high old time of it, it must be mainly his own fault.
