OverviewExcerpt from A Temporary Preface to the Six-Text Edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Vol. 1: Attempting to Show the True Order of the Tales, and the Days and Stages of the Pilgrimage, Etc; Etc If I did not remember the comments of this same journal, and of the Times, on American men, manners, and things during the war, I should say that this was as gross a piece of insult to a nation as I had ever seen in print. But this I will say, that any thing approaching to it in ignorant brutality I have never seen in any American newspaper laying the smallest claim to respect ability, or anything in any American newspaper so well calculated to excite hatred between the two countries. When people in England hold up their hands over the part played by press writers in fostering enmity between the 'two kindred peoples, ' they must therefore fix their eyes, not on New York, but on London.
