Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bright Side of Humanity: Glimpses of Life in Every Land Showing the Distinctive Noble Traits of All Races In the arrangement of this volume I have avoided the conventional grouping of subjects according to geographical or political relations, and have sought to secure as far as practicable such variety as would enhance the pleasure of the general reader. This will explain not only the apparent lack of formal arrangement, but also the omission of some familiar names which one would ordinarily expect to find in a book of this character. For instance, there is no chapter devoted to the Austrians, as such, for the reason that they are Germans? and Austria is only a "political expression." An exception has been made in favor of the Swiss who, though being but the overflow population of surrounding countries, have lived to themselves long enough to develop some characteristic traits. The widely varying character of the several chapters is due chiefly to the fact that I have contented myself with the available material without calling in the aid of the imagination or a superfluous vocabulary.
