The American Character
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1944. hardcover. 8vo. 168pp. from Preface: "This book is ambitious in design but modest in its actual detail. It is designed to make more intelligible to the British public certain American principles and attitudes. But it makes no pretense to either profundity or elaborate learning. A great many important aspects of American life have been ignored or treated very sketchily, sometimes because they were irrelevant to my immediate object, sometimes because I thought myself incompetent to handle them." Good: Book G, toning and shelf wear to boards and spine, spine sunned, hinge starting at half title page, text clean, binding intact. Item #4491
#04573.
