If America has a claim to exceptionalism, American Credo locates it in a little understood ability to engage in deep conflicts over political ideas, while at the same time reducing adversarial positions to legitimate derivatives of American history and development.

Excerpt from The American Credo: A Contribution Toward the Interpretation, of the National Mind This edition embodies a number of changes, some of omission and some of addition. The imperfections of the original work were obvious to us when we sent it forth, and we are very grateful to those scholars at home and abroad who have contributed so generously to its improvement. In particular, we owe a large debt to Mr. Aubrey Donaldson, M. A., Reader in Comparative Mythology at Oxford, and to Prof. Dr. Gustav Simmelmeyer, of the University of Zurich. Dr. Simmelmeyer printed a long and very learned review of the work in the Schweizerisches Archiv fur Volkskunde, and it was instrumental in establishing pleasant contacts with distinguished folk-lorists in various European countries, notably Dr. Arnold Letkow of Berlin, Prof. Ledoux of the Sorbonne, Dr. Enrico Forelli of Turin, and Prof. Mendoza of Salamanca, editor of the well-known Biblioteca de las tradiciones espanolas.

George Jean Nathan (1882-1958) who also wrote under the pseudonym Owen Hatteras, was an American drama critic and editor. Together with H. L. Mencken, he co-edited the magazine The Smart Set from 1914 and co-founded The American Mercury in 1924. He was noted for the erudition and cynicism of his reviews. Over the years, Nathan's criticisms were published in Mr. George Jean Nathan Presents (1917) and The Critic and the Drama (1922) amongst others. He also co-authored a number of works with H. L. Mencken including: The Artist (1912), Europe After 8:15 (1914) and The American Credo: A Contribution Toward the Interpretation of the National Mind (1920). Henry Louis "H. L." Mencken (1880-1956), was an American journalist, essayist, magazine editor, satirist, acerbic critic of American life and culture, and a student of American English. Known as the "Sage of Baltimore," he is regarded as one of the most influential American writers and prose stylists of the first half of the 20th century. Mencken is perhaps best remembered today for The American Language (1919), a multi-volume study of how the English language is spoken in the United States and his satirical reporting on the Scopes Trial, which he named the "Monkey" trial. Amongst his other works are: George Bernard Shaw: His Plays (1905) and The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (1908).

The American Credo A Contribution Toward the Interpretation of the National Mind H. L. (Henry Louis) Mencken The superficial, no doubt, will mistake this little book for a somewhat laborious attempt at jocosity. Because, incidentally to its main purpose, it unveils occasional ideas of so inordinate an erroneousness that they verge upon the ludicrous, it will be set down a piece of spoofing, and perhaps denounced as in bad taste. But all the while that main purpose will remain clear enough to the judicious. It is, in brief, the purpose of clarifying the current exchange of rhetorical gas bombs upon the subject of American ideals and the American character, so copious, so cocksure and withal so ill-informed and inconclusive, by putting into plain propositions some of the notions that lie at the heart of those ideals and enter into the very substance of that character. "For as he thinketh in his heart," said Solomon, "so is he." It is a saying, obviously, that one may easily fill with fantastic meanings, as the prevailing gabble of the mental healers, New Thoughters, efficiency engineers, professors of scientific salesmanship and other such mountebanks demonstrates, but nevertheless it is one grounded, at bottom, upon an indubitable fact. Deep down in every man there is a body of congenital attitudes, a corpus of ineradicable doctrines and ways of thinking, that determines his reactions to his ideational environment as surely as his physical activity is determined by the length of his tibiæ and the capacity of his lungs. These primary attitudes, in fact, constitute the essential man. It is by recognition of them that one arrives at an accurate understanding of his place and function as a member of human society; it is by a shrewd reckoning and balancing of them, one against another, that one forecasts his probable behaviour in the face of unaccustomed stimuli. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
