Intimations

I view the present Americans as the seed of future nations, which will replenish this boundless continent; the Russians may be in some respects compared to you; we likewise are a new people, new, I mean, in knowledge, arts and improvements. Who knows what revolutions Russia and America may one day bring about; we are perhaps nearer neighbours than we imagine.

I—n Al—z, via J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur, 1784. In Letters From An American Farmer.
