A variety of materials collected without citation to sources, and not in any topical or sequential order, and not organized with a Table of Contents. However, three Indexes are provided with nice detail -- Topics, Authors, and listing of Poetry provided.

Contains Chateaubriands' observations about the American Indians and Europeans (noting how many of the latter chose to live as savages, but few savages came to Europe). Many of the materials are of a Christian conviction, but he also includes a lot of Ingersol, and skeptical works.

Hubbard was a renowned figure in his day, due to his writing, lecturing on the chataqua circuit, publishing, founder of an artisan community, and participation in the arts & crafts movement. A seller of soap, an exhortationist, and a very well-read man. ( )
