Excerpt from Germanism From Within
The following pages are much more the result of observation and impressions than of study, and hence I have nowhere tried to avoid striking an intimate note or using the first personal pronoun. Every book that is worth reading is, whatever the subject, a revelation of the writer. What is called a "strictly objective attitude" would hardly be possible in regard to all the questions discussed here, and, if it were possible, it would be as likely to produce a blurred picture as to bring definite ideas before the reader"s mind. A spirit of fairness may co-exist with strong convictions even in the more controversial spheres of political, social, and religious life, and where that spirit is not natural to a writer it cannot be dragged into his work by main force. I have never taken impartiality to mean a blenching, non-committal attitude where the facts seemed to me to demand outspoken utterance. My conclusions may be erroneous, but they are not rendered obscure by any effort to establish a theory, political, social, or economic. I have kept clear of all vague generalities and all half-truths.
