Excerpt from In the Land of the Strenuous Life If I were to consider only your habit of asking visitors to your country, "How do you like America?" I might offer this book with entire confidence, since it is precisely an answer to your own repeated inquiry. Yet this response has not been prepared for you, but for others - for mere Europeans. On the other side of the water also, people have asked me, "What do you think of America?" I have told them, and they have listened with a certain measure of interest. And how can I expect you in America to lend your ears to a resident of the Old World who addresses himself to other inhabitants of the Old World? Is there any significance for you in these "Dialogues of the Dead"? I have another reason for hesitation. Not imagining that these pages would fall under your eyes, I wrote them under the influence of a sentiment which now brings me to some confusion, a sentiment for which I must crave your pardon. I wrote them, alas! with an excess of benevolence. In spite of some criticisms (only too rare and inadequate), I have said too much good of you, as I now humbly confess.
