Book Description
Excerpt from Patriotism We will not try to explain why men are patriotic. Perhaps we needed the infernal crimes and horrors of Armageddon to remind us that they are, and that neither dynasts nor diplomats, neither the theories of Utopian materialism nor the sweet appeal of pure reason, can make them otherwise. The war does at least prove to us that the greatest things are not intellectual, that men are moved by other forces more spiritual, more noble, and more true. The whole world shouts it half the world is at war to proclaim it; and it may be that already a million men have died to prove the reality of an abstraction Civilization has not pushed out of it, as from some outworn barbarism, but it has grown with civilization. The national principle, indeed, was not established in Europe until the nineteenth century. We may be annoyed by the things that Hackel has said about England, but at least he has proved that he is not a rationalist.

Book Description
Excerpt from Poems of American Patriotism Who now shall sneer? Who dare again to say we trace Our lines to a plebeian race? Roundhead and Cavalier! Dumb are those names, erewhile in battle loud; Dream-footed, as the shadow of a cloud, They flit across the ear; That is best blood that hath most iron in 't To edge resolve with, pouring without stint For what makes manhood dear. Tell us not of Plantagenets, Hapsburgs, and Guelphs, whose thin bloods crawl Down from some victor in a border brawl! How poor their outworn coronets, Matched with one leaf of that plain civic wreath Our brave for honor's blazon shall bequeath, Through whose desert a rescued Nation sets Her heel on treason, and the trumpet hears Shout victory, tingling Europe's sullen ears With vain resentments and more vain regrets!

Book Description
Excerpt from American Patriotism: Or Memoirs of Common Men This volume comprises names of men from nearly every State in the Union, and it is not, therefore, entirely of local interest; but it is truly national. Should it not attract and interest readers in other States and sections of our country; if it be deemed worthy of preservation here in the centre of beautiful Iowa, I shall be satisfied. It contains descriptions of all the great battles fought by the armies of the West, given in letters written by soldiers who afterwards lost their lives in the service.

Book Description
Excerpt from Poems of American Patriotism: 1776-1898 Several collections of patriotic verse have been made, but none hitherto, so far as I know, which carries one later than the Civil War. The present compilation makes pretensions neither to complete ness, - a large volume would fail to include every thing of merit which has been inspired by national themes, nor, on the other hand, to a fastidious criti cal standard. Its only aim is that of presenting anew the noble and popular songs of the past, long en deared to the country's heart, and a still larger amount of stirring contemporary verse, not a little of which has already begun to sing itself into the memory of our time.

Excerpt from Patriotism and Government Not adults only, but also children, pure, wise children, rejoice, according to their nationality, when they hear that the number killed and lacerated by lyddite or other shells is not seven hundred but one thousand Englishmen or Boers. And parents (i know of such cases) encourage their children in such brutality. But that is not all. Every increase in the army of one nation (and every nation being in danger seeks to increase its army for patriotic reasons) obliges its neighbours to increase their army, also from patriot ism, and this evokes a fresh increase by the first nation.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of English Patriotism, Vol. 2 of 2 Voltaire's point of view is plainly, that it is unreason able to be a patriot, unless you get some equivalent advantage out of your country. One has a country under a good king. But not under a bad one.' At the same time, he hesitates between the patriotic and the cosmopolitan points of view. It is a pity that to be a good patriot one must be the enemy of other men. He ends up with the following strange compromise: He. Who wants his country to be neither greater, nor smaller, nor richer, nor poorer, would be the citizen of the universe.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Patriotism: And Other Social Studies When Harvard University had sent me abroad for a year as Exchange Professor to lecture in Berlin on psychology and philosophy, I always felt that I should not be living up to the real meaning of my mission if I did not do my best also to spread on the European continent reasonable ideas about true Americanism. Indeed plenty of absurd ideas prevail there. Hence whenever associations or universities abroad invited me to give general addresses, I laid aside my psychology and philosophy and preached America. I tried to overcome prejudices and to foster healthy sympathy. I spoke of American progress and achievements, of American art and literature, of American education and scholarship, as well as of my favorite topic, the American woman; and whenever a trump was needed, I became enthusiastic over American patriotism. I believe sincerely that no European country knows a patriotism of such fervor and explosiveness. The foreigner who approaches the land gets a foretaste on shipboard.
