Présentation de l'éditeur
This book has bec Dan adventure in intellectual co-operation. If it were a mere collection of haphazard essays, gathered together to make the conventional symposium, it would have only slight significance. But it has been ohe deliberate and (ffganized outgrowth of the common efforts of like-minded men and women to see the problem of modem American civilization as a whole,a Ddto illuminate by careful criticism the special aspect ofthat civilization with which the individual is most familiar. Personal contact has served to correct overanphasis, and slow and careful selection of the members of a groiq which has now grown to some thirty-odd has given to this work a unity of approach and attack which it otherwise could not possibly have had. The nucleus of this group was brought together by ccnnn Mnwork, common interests, and more or less common assumptirais. As I cmg ago as the autumn of last year Mr, Van Wyck Brooks and I discussed the possibility of several of us, who were mgaged in much the same kind of critical examination of our civilization, coming together to exchange ideas, to darify our individual fields, and to discover wherein they coincided, overlap ed, or diverged. The original desire was the modest one of making it possible for us to avoid working at cross-purposes. I suggested that we meet at my home, which a few of us did, and since that time until the delivery of this volume to the publishers we have met every fortnight.- Even at our first meeting we discovered our points of view to have so much in common that our desire for infonnal and pleasant discussions became the more serious wish to contribute a definite and tangible piece of work towards the advance of intellectual life in A merica.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
