Hardcover. Etat : Fair. xxxi, 196, [4] pages. Color Frontis illustration. Illustrations. Footnotes. Cover illustration is worn and chipped. Some page soiling. Minor damp staining at places in the bottom edge. Thomas Nelson Page (April 23, 1853 - November 1, 1922) was a lawyer and American writer. He also served as the U.S. ambassador to Italy from 1913 to 1919 under the administration of President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. Page popularized the Southern tradition of the plantation genre as based on his own experience living in a plantation. Page first got the public's attention with his story "Marse Chan" which was published in the Century Illustrated Magazine. One of Page's most notable works include The Burial of the Guns and In Ole Virginia. The capitals of most countries are the especial pride of their people. It is not so with us-at least, it has not been so in the past. Happily, it appears as though this condition were changing. It has, indeed, ever appeared to me strange that Americans know so little of and care so little for the capital of their own country. Nature, prodigal of gracious slope and curve and tone, has endowed it with, perhaps, more charm than any other national capital-at least, than any large European capital-and its founders laid it off on a generous plan which has left the opportunity of furthering what Nature presented, in a way to appeal to the pride of our people. Yet how large a proportion of Americans turn their eyes and their steps, not toward its majestic buildings, but to some foreign capital with its gaudy shops and commercial allurements, returning with an alien's ideas on many subjects and boasting of beauties which are not comparable to those of our own capital city.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. xiii, [2], 422, [2] pages. Maps, Footnotes. Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. Corners bumped. Some edge soiling. Some page discoloration. Thomas Nelson Page (1853 - 1922) was a lawyer and American writer. He also served as the U.S. ambassador to Italy under the administration of President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. Admitted to the Virginia Bar Association, he practiced as a lawyer in Richmond between 1876 and 1893, and also began his writing career. Page popularized the plantation tradition genre of Southern writing, which told of an idealized version of life before the Civil War, with contented slaves working for beloved masters and their families. Page was popular amongst the Capital elite, and was regularly invited to socialize with politicians. President Woodrow Wilson, appointed Page as U.S. ambassador to Italy, he served between 1913 and 1919. Page wrote: "To understand fully Italy's relation to the great war, we must go back to the historic causes. To have a complete conception of the underlying principles and motives which controlled her action, one must have a reasonably complete knowledge of her relation to France and Austria during the period of the reconstruction of Europe---and especially during the last century. Where the problem is so complex, one must know the clew to find the true solution.Italy claims officially that she lost in the war a half-million men killed; that she had. nearly a million and a half more wounded, of whom some two hundred thousand are permanently disabled; and that she spent more of her wealth in proportion . than any other of the Allies. That after efforts so heroic, losses so great, and sacrifices so immeasurable, she should be left with . a feeling of injustice to her on the part of her former allies is.a malign fortune."
