Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New England, What It Is and What It Is to Be The reason for this book is the desire of the Boston Chamber of Commerce to acquaint the people of New England with the country they live in, and furnish them with the means to acquaint others. It has been a fault of New England people that they have been keenly alive to the growth and development of all sections of the country except their own, and that they have had a better knowledge of all other sections than of their own. New England has been so earnestly engaged in developing the rest of the country that its people have had no time to notice the growing demand for development at home. Now there is an awakening. We are beginning to realize that there is here at home as much opportunity as anywhere in the country, and we are slowly finding out what that opportunity is. This book is not a catalogue of the opportunities nor the achievements of New England. It treats of both. An effort has been made to show, in an impressionistic manner, what New England is and what it may be, if its people will turn their attention to the work of developing it with the same earnest devotion they have lavished upon the other sections. Statistics have been avoided, as also have eulogistic statements. That which is herein set forth is, so far as possible, plain statement of fact, and mostly well-known fact. The possibilities are all soberly stated. If it is necessary to apologize for the manifest defects of the book, or for that of which it docs not treat, or for that which it does not treat adequately, let the apology be that the editor is aware of more, and more serious, defects than the most determined critic can discover; and regrets them more keenly.
