Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Metropolis, From Knickerbocker Days to the Present Time, Vol. 1 of 3: New York City Life in All Its Various Phases We live for the future, but our roots are hidden in the past, and any one who has the genius to make the past more truly real and alive nourishes those roots and makes that future more bright and prolific. The volume herewith presented is the outcome of a revival of the civic spirit as that revival has come to its experience and expression in the thoughts and activities of one particular man. This civic revival is, however, something more concrete than any mere quickening along general lines: it is rather the revival of civic devotion in its detailed relations to specific locality. It is a great thing to love one´s entire country; but there is such a thing as the concentration of patriotism upon one´s own town or city.
