A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The first question propounded to a traveller on returning from a transatlantic tour is usually, What is your opinion of American women Pfor, in truths the American woman is by far the most important element in the social machinery of the States. Her reputation for beauty and smartness has spread over the whole earth, and to doubt her fascination would be a heresy even beyond this agnostic age. Howeyer, we are, fortunately, not wholly dependent on the crude judgment of awestruck, startled travellers, saturated as they are with old-world prejudice, and prisoned in its narrow, conventional traditions; for the A mericans, having already interviewed and exhausted all Europe, are now laudably engaged in the process of interviewing each other, and that with an acuteness and insight far beyond the observing faculty of the bewildered foreigner.
