Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fireside Education In the course of the following pages many passages and allusions will be found, more especially intended for the American reader, and adapted rather to the situation of society in New, than in Old England. The publisher, for some time, hesitated whether he should not in such cases omit or modify these expressions, so as to adapt the work more closely to the tone of English feeling; but when he reflected that the principles inculcated are radically the same in both countries, and that the only difference is in the mode of their application to different states of society, he resolved to leave them untouched. Furthermore, such passages give us an insight into the modes of thinking and habits of life peculiar to the Americans, and they are valuable to us as a leaf in the history of the social progress of mankind, and, in that point of view, are of much more worth than the casual observations of even an unbiassed spectator of the mere outside of society. These considerations have determined him to print the book entire, without altering or omitting a syllable, and he appends this notice simply as a warning to the reader, (which ho should carry with him as he proceeds,) that the book was intended for America, and was not written with the purpose of publication in England.
