Synopsis
Excerpt from Letter to a Lady in France on the Supposed Failure of a National Bank: The Supposed Delinquency of the National Government, the Debts of the Several States, and Repudiation; With Answers to Enquiries Concerning the Books of Capt. Marryat and Mr. Dickens
AN American lady, who went to Europe while very young, and when all was tranquil and ourishing in the United States, lately wrote to a lady here, to enquire what ground there could possibly be for the dreadful accusations which she hears against us every where abroad. The following letter was written, at the request of her correspondent, in answer to the enquiry. In order that any future allusion to it might be understood, it was shown to some of her old friends here, who had ridiculed the idea of any attempt at exculpation, supposing that the nation was dishonored, past hope. They were not only surprised at what could be said to the con trary, but so much relieved by a simple statement of the facts, that they urged the printing of the letter, here, as well as sending it to France.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The author of this book presents a response to rampant scrutiny and disdain for America, presenting instead a detailed picture of the virtues of American society as the author sees them and defends against accusations of national misconduct. The book addresses a wide range of topics: The author defends the reputation of American banking practices after the Bank of the United States failed. They refute accusations of debt repudiation, placing some blame on the decisions of states rather than the nation as a whole. The author compares the state of slavery in the USA to that of the Caribbean, to the detriment of the latter. The author takes some pains to defend the morality of the American people in the face of accusations that Americans are inherently greedy, and discusses the different ways in which Americans interact with wealth. They also discuss the issue of Lynch Law with a nuanced perspective. Ultimately, the author's arguments present a multifaceted view of American society, with both its virtues and flaws laid bare, and through it all, the author is determined to defend America's democratic experiment and its resilience.
