My Discovery of England

Bag om My Discovery of England

FOR some years past a rising tide of lecturers and literary men from England has washed upon the shores of our North American continent. The purpose of each one of them is to make a new discovery of America. They come over to us travelling in great simplicity, and they return in the ducal suite of the Aquitania. They carry away with them their impressions of America, and when they reach England they sell them. This export of impressions has now been going on so long that the balance of trade in impressions is all disturbed. There is no doubt that the Americans and Canadians have been too generous in this matter of giving away impressions. We emit them with the careless ease of a glow worm, and like the glow-worm ask for nothing in return.

Beskrivelse af My Discovery of England

FOR some years past a rising tide of lecturers and literary men from
England has washed upon the shores of our North American continent. The
purpose of each one of them is to make a new discovery of America. They
come over to us travelling in great simplicity, and they return in the ducal
suite of the Aquitania. They carry away with them their impressions of
America, and when they reach England they sell them. This export of
impressions has now been going on so long that the balance of trade in
impressions is all disturbed. There is no doubt that the Americans and
Canadians have been too generous in this matter of giving away
impressions. We emit them with the careless ease of a glow worm, and like
the glow-worm ask for nothing in return.
