Preface. A revolution is a change of mind. There have been few more radical changes of mind than the one which took place in America between 1790 and 1800. But when historians describe the downfall of the Federalists and the victory of the new Democratic-Republican Party during these years they always speak in terms of Jefferson and Hamilton. They do not exhibit a ahange of mind. They merely stage a picturesque fight between two very great men, and two very attractive men. I find these two men very attractive myself, and well worth presenting. But I cannot overlook the fact that they began by collaborating in revolutionary organization (1776-1783, 1790-1793), and ended by cooperating even more closely. Jefferson would never have been elected President without Hamilton's final help. So, in this study of the second American Revolution, I shall necessarily deal with these men; but I shall also deal, more especially, with the change of mind of the American nation and the leaders who influenced it. <strong>...</strong></p>Faÿ Bernard - Roosevelt and his Americaurn:md5:2a17cc8b735f8725b9b8f368240306ef2016-06-20T19:43:00+01:002016-06-20T18:49:01+01:00balderFaÿ BernardFirst World WarFranceGermanyRooseveltUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Fay_Bernard_-_Roosevelt_and_his_America.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface. The world seems to be enjoying an era of bad feeling. Europe misunderstands the United States, not so much because it knows nothing of America, but because it has a too dry and intellectual know-ledge of America and has ceased seeing it as a living unit. It has heard so much about "American standardization", "American prosperity", "American methods", that it has forgotten America itself. For most Europeans America is a big factory, where everybody is busily engaged in following the rules elaborated by a few famous engineers, such as Messrs. Ford, Edison and Hoover, and by Owen D. Young. America appears as the incarnation and summing up of the industrial civilization of to-day, and as such it is condemned and denounced. Nobody seems to remember that America is a nation which has already gone through several stages and kinds of civilizations and whose real greatness has been to forge ahead and develop from generation to generation constantly new forms of social life and human culture. My first aim and hope in writing this book was to remind Europeans that America is a force, not a formula. It would have been easier to praise America, but it would have led nowhere. <strong>...</strong></p>Faÿ Bernard - George Washington republican aristocraturn:md5:cc3a336df596e19e4bb65f9ea90bf1892016-06-20T19:22:00+01:002016-06-20T18:41:59+01:00balderFaÿ BernardNorth AmericaUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Fay_Bernard_-_George_Washington_republican_aristocrat.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface. I have many people to thank for the help they gave me when I was preparing and writing this book. Dr. Jameson, of the Library of Congress, should be the first one, then M. de la Roncière, Conservateur des Imprimes à la Bibliothèque Nationale, and M. Girodie, Conservateur du Musée Américain de Blérancourt, who showed me manuscripts, pamphlets, books, and prints. Miss Yorke, Mr. Imbs, and several other kind friends have been generous enough to think my English worthy of their attention. The mistakes are still mine. The rest is largely theirs. All the friends who guided and helped me when I was studying Franklin had their share in making suggestions or giving advice for this 'Washington,' Please see the list in the Preface of my 'Franklin.' Without them I should never have ventured to speak of so great a man. Now I have done so, I hope they will not regret it. B. F. PARIS, July, 1931. <strong>...</strong></p>
