Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Memories of Eighteenth-Century America If the reader be not pleased with the following sketch of early American customs, he should blame a certain ancient sofa, and not the author! For it was the said sofa that caused these lines to be written, and it came about in this way: Among some old furniture handed down in our family is an unusually long mahogany sofa, upon which, says tradition, General Lafayette frequently sat when he came to take tea. Tradition further alleged that in the memoirs of some Frenchman (name not given) this fact was set forth at length. Curiosity to read what this unknown had to say upon the subject led through such pleasant literary country that soon the original purpose of the quest gave way to a constantly growing interest in these memoirs and records of the last quarter of the eighteenth century, from the battle of Lexington till the transfer of the Federal Government to the city of Washington.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French in America, 1520-1880 Yet this exhibition surveys a wider field of history! Than that of the settlers of Detroit or even of New France. It includes the Huguenots who settled in the thirteen colonies and who played a part out of all proportion to their small numbers in the formation of our nation. It touches on the intellectual relationships of the eighteenth century the French authors for whom America was an exotic dream, the philosophers whose liberal thought was translated by Jefferson into a program of action, the scientists who became members of the youthful American Philosophical Society, as well as the officers of the armed forces of France whose intervention swung the balance of the War for Independence in favor of the colonies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Eighteenth Century America: More "Letters From an American Farmer" Crevecoeur, the American farmer, advancing argu ments against English taxation of his fellow country men, was led into a statement of the difficulties that surrounded the husbandman in the new world. He described the problem of acquiring, from rascally land agents, a bona fide title to a tract on the frontier. He pictured the work of clearing away the trees and difii culties of living alone in the forest. He did not forget the heavy burden of mortgage that pressed on practi cally every frontier holding. Then, when the forest was cleared and the farm established, he told of the early settler's fight with an astonishing variety of natural enemies. In this description he was aided by his great interest in nature and by his acute observation Of the world of birds, animals and insects. Frequently, as in ant-hill Town, Crevecoeur describes wild life for the pure love of nature. In honest disgust he wrote: Strange that you should have in England SO many learned and wise men, and that none should ever have come over here to describe some part of this great field which nature presents. But he took pains to record that this same nature caused the farmer no end of difficulty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Travellers in the United States, 1765-1932: A Bibliography It was enthusiasm rather than bitterness that prejudiced the minds of French travellers to America during the eighteenth century; and during the early years of the nineteenth century many of the travellers were refugees who had found an asylum in the United States and whose writings were colored by this sentiment of gratitude. America was the object of the admiration, even veneration, of French liberals during the nineteenth century, as it was the recipient of the vituperative attacks of the French Royalists. On the whole, however, the French travellers maintained a more judicious, and often sympathetic, attitude toward the United States. It was this that caused Henry T. Tuckerman to make the following comment: The social character, the more versatile experience of American life, assimilate it in a degree, and externally, with that of France, and the climate of America develops nervous sensibility; while the exigencies of life foster an adaptive facility, which brings the anglo-american into more intelligent relations with the Gallic nature than is possible for a people so egotistic and stolid as the English to realize. But this partial sympathy does not altogether account for the French understanding America better: that is owing to a more liberal, a less prejudiced, a more chivalric spirit; to quicker sympathies, to more scientific proclivities, to greater candor and humanity among her thinkers. They are far enough removed in life and character to catch the true moral perspective and they have few, if any, wounds of self-love to impede their sense of justice to a country wherewith their own history is often congenially and honorably associated. 3 This was written by Tuckerman during the American Civil War and his opinion had been influenced by contemporary British criticisms of America as well as by the attitude of the French Liberals toward the Civil War.
