only really brave men of any natloh'
who continually boast of being brave.
1t is difficult to believe that any man
intelligent enough to write Drlshl
book as this appears to be, or any m
telligent Englishman, who reads III
really believes for a moment that this
nation, so largely English in its ORIGIN
history. traditions, literature and asso-
citation, is really nation of iunatlcs'
liars. hypocrites and vulgarians, who
are all noisy, boastful. and groveiinS at
the feet of titled foreigners. We lear
that Mr.. Ponsonby has confined his op-
servations of this country to the IN
spection of few newly enriched
Americans who have taken themselves
their riches and their vulgarity abroad
where they have bought place IN the
social circles Of the British aristoc:acy
more easily and more cheaply than
they could buy important social recos-
milton at home. For him to judge
Americans from that class is as UNJUST
as it would be for us to judge English
men by the occasional stupid conceited
English snob who tours this country
and fills all beholders with a hOmicidal
mania.
