Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wealth and Worth: Or, Which Makes the Man? This is the first of a contemplated series of "American Family Tales." The greater part of our current literature, both for young and old, is of English origin, often unsuited in its tone to a full sympathy with our republican institutions, and generating associations with foreign scenes and modes of life, instead of fostering sentiments of attachment to our own native soil and people. To infuse an earnest, independent, American spirit, uncontaminated by intolerance toward other governments and nations - to encourage a taste for gratifications of the intellect in preference to those of the senses, without forgetting the superior importance of the inculcation of those principles of action, which a reverential faith in the divine origin of the Christian code of morals enforces - such will be the paramount objects regarded in the preparation of these tales.
