The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon Story 6 - English Writers on America

from The Washington Irving Library · host Washington Irving

In which an observant reflection is cast upon the growing literary misunderstandings and prejudices between England and America, with a learned caution against accepting biased accounts that mar the truth of a nation's character and progress. The discourse gently urges Americans to maintain a candid and magnanimous spirit towards England, recognising virtues even amid political tension, and to cultivate impartiality and national pride unmarred by the bitterness of retaliation.
