Abstract
TO the untravelled Englishman, who still looks upon money-making and hustling as the natural habit of the American, the steady outflow of books from the United States dealing with the country and with country life comes as a great surprise. But those who have had the privilege of meeting the American in real life know that he, too, like the Englishman, has an inborn love of-the country, which has not been killed off even by a couple of generations of town life, and is now asserting itself more than at any time in our previous history. Indeed, this conscious love of country life so often (and sometimes so mawkishly) expressed, is perhaps one of the most significant of modern characteristics.
