On the English, by Santayana: for St George’s Day

This extract is from Soliloquies in England by the Spanish-American philosopher, George Santayana (1863 - 1952). Santayana spent five years in England as the Great War raged on the Continent. This gave him ample time to study the British character and the nature of England.

The text of Soliloquies is available on the Gutenberg Project and the Internet Archive.
