The Twentieth Century American Being a Comparative Study of the Peoples of the Two Great Anglo-Saxon Nations by Harry Perry Robinson If I can say anything to show that my name is really Makepeace, and to increase the source of love between the two countries, then please, God, I will."-W. M. Thackeray, in Letters to an American Family. "Certainly there is nothing like England, and there never has been anything like England in the world. Her wonderful history, her wonderful literature, her beautiful architecture, the historic and poetic associations which cluster about every street and river and mountain and valley, her vigorous life, the sweetness and beauty of her women, the superb manhood of her men, her Navy, her gracious hospitality, and her lofty pride-although some single race of men may have excelled her in some single particular-make up a combination never equalled in the world."-The late United States Senator Hoar, in An Autobiography of Seventy Years.
