Brander Matthews sends a book by French author Ferdinand Brunetière to President Roosevelt, drawing attention to an article titled “L’Ame Américaine.” Matthews comments that though the article is “shrewd and able,” it is also “curiously wrong,” but not more wrong than Americans might be when trying to understand Elizabethan England from incomplete facts.
