This article focuses on the book "American Points of View. A Reader's Guide, 1935," by William H. Cordell and Kathryn Coe Cordell. Editors of this collection of American essays of 1935 have used the "point of view" as their criterion of selection, and the volume as a whole aims to give a cross-section of American attitudes, prejudices, sentiments so far as these are reflected by intellectuals, public men, and men of letters. From this standpoint the collection is admirable. Taken all in all, the American essay, however interesting and stimulating, would seem from this collection to remain still a fairly crude affair.
