In the preface, Fearon states 'I feel confident that the publication of truth ought not, and indeed eventually cannot, be detrimental to the cause of political freedom and human happiness', however Sydney Smith, in a review of this book, said that its author was 'no lover of America, and a little given to exaggerate in his views of vices and prejudices.'
