Description
Edwin Lawrence Godkin, founder of The Nation, gathered thirty years of his essays in this book, dedicated to Charles Eliot Norton. Its dates, 1865 to 1895, frame the pieces. Topics at the head of the contents include peace, culture and war, and the comparative morality of nations.
Godkin writes on Horace Greeley and John Stuart Mill, on panics, and on the church and science. The South after the war, judges and witnesses, and the role of universities in politics all draw his comment. Lighter pieces treat the morals and manners of the kitchen, summer resorts, and chromo-civilization. The set shows a sharp editor thinking in public about American life.
