My Name Is Hugh Paret. I Was A Corporation Lawyer, But By No Means A Typical One, The Choice Of My Profession Being Merely Incidental, And Due, As Will Be Seen, To The Accident Of Environment. The Book I Am About To Write Might Aptly Be Called The Autobiography Of A Romanticist. In That Sense, If In No Other, I Have Been A Typical American, Regarding My Country As The Happy Hunting-Ground Of Enlightened Self-Interest, As A Function Of My Desires. Whether Or Not I Have Completely Got Rid Of This Romantic Virus I Must Leave To Those The Aim Of Whose Existence Is To Eradicate It From Our Literature And Our Life. [more]

First I Am To Write A Love-Story Of Long Ago, Of A Time Some Little While After General Jackson Had Got Into The White House And Had Shown The World What A Real Democracy Was. The Era Of The First Six Presidents Had Closed, And A New Era Had Begun. I Am Speaking Of Political Eras. Certain Gentlemen, With A Pious Belief In Democracy, But With A Firmer Determination To Get On Top, Arose,--And Got In Top. So Many Of These Gentlemen Arose In The Different States, And They Were So Clever, And They Found So Many Chinks In The Constitution To Crawl Through And Steal The People's Chestnuts, That The Era May Be Called The Boss-Era. After The Boss Came Along Certain Things Without Souls, But Of Many Minds, And Found More Chinks In The Constitution: Bigger Chinks, For The Things Were Bigger, And They Stole More Chestnuts. But I Am Getting Far Ahead Of My Love-Story--And Of My Book. [more]

The Present Book, As Originally Planned Over Seven Years Ago, Was To Be A Simplified Paraphrase Or Restatement Of the Principles Embodied In Friedrich Ratzel'S _Anthropo-Geographie_. The German Work Is Difficult Reading even For Germans. To Most English And American Students Of Geographic Environment It Is A Closed Book, A Treasure-House Bolted And Barred. Ratzel Himself Realized "That Any English Form Could Not Be A Literal Translation, But Must Be Adapted To The Anglo-Celtic And Especially To The Anglo-American Mind." The Writer Undertook, With Ratzel'S Approval, To Make Such An Adapted Restatement Of the Principles, With A View To Making them Pass Current Where They Are Now Unknown. But The Initial Stages Of the Work Revealed The Necessity Of a Radical Modification Of the Original Plan. [more]

These Are The Principal Speeches I Have Made Within The Last Four Years. They Have Been Chosen And Collected With The Idea Of Presenting A Consistent And Simultaneous View Of The General Field Of British Politics In An Hour Of Fateful Decision. I Have Exercised Full Freedom In Compression And In Verbal Correction Necessary To Make Them Easier To Read. Facts And Figures Have Been, Where Necessary, Revised, Ephemeral Matter Eliminated, And Epithets Here And There Reconsidered. But Opinions And Arguments Are Unaltered; They Are Hereby Confirmed, And I Press Them Earnestly And Insistently Upon The Public. [more]
