520 _a"As We Go" by Charles Dudley Warner is a collection of insightful essays written during the late 19th century, likely reflecting on contemporary social and cultural issues. The book explores themes of individuality, societal roles, and the evolving dynamics between men and women in American society post-Civil War. Warner examines various subjects, ranging from the role of the American presidency to the nature of femininity, often coupled with a critical eye on the societal norms of his time. The opening of the text introduces the essay "Our President," where Warner discusses the significance of American democracy and the unique approach to leadership that contrasts with hereditary privileges found in monarchies. He emphasizes that in America, the focus is on the character and abilities of individuals, not their lineage, and reflects on the ceremonious celebrations surrounding the commemoration of George Washington, positing that Americans have the power to create and dismantle their "royalty." The opening sets a tone for Warner's later essays, indicating a blend of humor and serious sociopolitical commentary that invites readers to consider the implications of societal progress and the role of individuals in shaping their community.
