    EPIGRAPH: We are not at all surprised at what in this country is most foolishly called the conceit and vanity of the Americans. What people in the world have so fine, so magnificient a country?... If ever these magnificient dreams of the American people are realized -- and all that is wanted for their realization is that things should only go on as they have been going on for the last two countries -- there will be seated upon that vast continent a population greater than that of all Europe, all speaking the same language, all active-minded, intelligent, and well off.
