To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We should be seriously deceived if we over- looked for a moment the curious and complex relation between these two Americas.
Let me give one illustration. Professor Norton, the friend of Carlyle, of Burne- Jones, and of Matthew Arnold, and, for the matter of that, the friend of everybody, a most urbane, learned, and exquisite spirit, was descended from a long line of typical New England divines : yet he was loudly accused, in public and in private, of being un-American.
142 CHARACTER AND OPINIO...N On the other hand, a Frenchman of ripe judge- ment, who knew him perfectly, once said to me : " Norton wouldn't like to hear it, but he is a terifible Yankee." Both judgements were well grounded. Professor Norton's mind was deeply moralised, discriminating, and sad ; and these qualities rightly seemed American to the French observer of New England, but they rightly seemed un-American to the politician from Washington.
Philosophical opinion in America is of course rooted in the genteel tradition.
