Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Country, in Its Relations to the Past, Present and Future: A National Book, Consisting of Original Articles in Prose and Verse; Contributed by American Writers This volume goes forth freighted with the loyal sentiments of many good and gifted Authors, who have freely given their offerings for "Our Country;" a talisman which, while it touches the heart, inspires the genius. The Editor has not sought for assistance among men in office, active politicians, or the leaders of cliques or parties. The opinions of such might have less weight than of those who regarding the great national questions from the quiet shades of retirement, or under circumstances which leave the judgment unbiased and the principles uninfluenced, may be supposed better qualified to act as judges. True patriotism demands the renouncing of self-interest, of tastes, habits and opinions; it leads to a higher and purer atmosphere, where truth, which the mere politician often sees with disordered vision, appears in its proper lineaments and proportions.
