Excerpt from War Thoughts of an Optimist: A Collection of Timely Articles by an American Citizen Residing in Canada
The author of these articles is a United States citizen who has been resident for several years in Canada. He has had the advantages of being a graduate of Harvard College and the Harvard Law School, but has given up the practice of the law and devoted himself to commerce and manufacturing.
Coming of old New England stock and revolutionary ancestry, the issues of this war have appealed to him as so vital that he has felt that he must speak. He gives this book out not because he thinks he can write, but because he knows that he cannot remain silent.
The author makes no apologies for his views. He feels that, on the contrary, apologies are due from those who fail to entertain them.
