O knihe

Excerpt from A Parisian Pastor's Glance at America

The political and social institutions of America, its material prosperity, and the manners of the people, have been frequently described by transatlantic travellers. But there is one phase of American society, by no means its least important or least characteristic, which has been hitherto comparatively neglected, especially by French writers, and has scarcely ever been pre sented in its true and proper light. I mean, its moral, religious and ecclesiastical aspect. Though the principles on which it is founded do not command, in France at least, the sympathies of the multitude, it was naturally enough this phase of American character which chie¿y attracted the regards of the distin guished divine, to whose pen we are indebted for the unpre tending but very interesting remarks here offered in an English garb.
