The article presents information on the book "The American Experiment," by Bernard Fay. Fay, an accomplished French scholar who has already written an interesting study of "The Revolutionary Spirit in France and America," has now thought it worth while to draw upon his experiences and observations as an exchange lecturer at Harvard and other universities and to tell what America is like. Whether Avery Claflin's collaboration, begun "on the battlefields of Verdun," has extended to the subject-matter of the book, or to the translation, or to both is not clear, but Fay either with or without help, has evidently read American history to good purpose, and the English of the book has been exceptionally well done.
