新英格兰是知识杂交的沃土。“共和国”（Commonwealth）一词就如“征用权”和“公用事业”这两个词一样，表达了对公私利益交融的信念。这是清教徒对马萨诸塞州的旧称，在1780年的马萨诸塞州宪法中重新提到这个名称，它同样也适用于首席法官肖的社会。在哪个社会里，不论是私有财富还是公有财富，在某种程度上都是共同占有的。马萨诸塞州原先是一个特许的贸易公司；其居民既是公民，又是股东。这一公私交融的特点，现在有人认为，是不应该被忘记的。马萨诸塞州宪法序言中提到的“共同利益”这一概念，比“主权”、“权利”或政治理论家们的其他通用语要含糊得多，而“共和政体”一词的含意，应该更多地从经验方面而不是从逻辑方面来解释。

马萨诸塞州的法官和律师们的伟大成就，是他们对社会问题的一种思考方法。这种思考方法把注意力集中于紧迫的、不断变化的和难以预测的各种需要，但又不否定原则的存在。他们不追求绝对的东西，也不把心神消耗于学说上的争辩。

在所有的美国神话中，没有比穿越大陆只身西行的神话更动人的了。我们没有多加思考，但理所当然地认为，一旦登上陆地，殖民地的旅行者就不需要社群了。我们常听说：开拓精神的同义词就是”个人主义“。迁往新地方和探索新事物的勇气，就是单干的勇气，是完全、彻底、雄心勃勃地专心于自身利益的勇气。听说只有这样，身受危险和威胁的开拓者才可以幸存。而且，据说美国方式就是这样形成的。

西去移民把他们过去的一切——连同过去日积月累的许多不平等遭遇——都撇下了。一个社群如果连儿子的父亲是谁也不知道，那么又怎能把父亲的罪孽算到儿子头上呢？

"定居，出售，再定居，再出售”，这是西部的共同教义。

　　Daniel J. Boorstin, one of America's great historians, focuses

on American ingenuity and emergent nationalism in this middle book

of the Americans trilogy, dealing with a period extending roughly

from the Revolution to the Civil War. Like its two companion

volumes, The National Experience is a sometimes quirky look at how

certain patterns of living helped shape the character of the United

States. The book simply overflows with ideas, all of them

introduced in entertaining chapters on subjects such as the New

England ice industry and the boomtowns of the Midwest.

媒体评论

　　Boorstins achievement is to compel us to see again, ranged in

order, the whole mass of attitudes and mechanisms that arise from

American difference, and to display his material so abundantly and

ingeniously that we see aspects of the nations' past as if for the

first time. -- Marcus Cunliffe, Book Week

　　"This is the history of a nation 'beginning again and again,

under men's very eyes. I can only repeat that this is a fine book

-- controversial certainly, but a courageous, learned and most

exciting work." -- George Dangerfield, The New York Times Book

Review

　　"This exceptionally good book ... abounds in concrete,

entertaining details, and in bright, original ideas about those

fascinating people, us." -- The New Yorker -- Review
