Excerpt from Social and Religious Life of Italians in America Several years ago a great publishing house desired to get a German book translated into English. The first writer to whom this commission was given was found to know German well, but English not so well. A second writer was found to be better acquainted with English than he was with German. It was not until after a good deal of searching that the happy discovery was made of a man who could both read German and write English excellently. A like discovery appears in the pages of this book. Mr. Sartorio knows the Italian people by nature and by long and intimate acquaintance, and he knows the American people by wise observation and by the fortunate experience of illuminating friendships. Thus he stands in a position which fits him for the important work of interpretation. Our present national situation brings into strong light the unwelcome fact that we have great numbers of neighbors who are not even hyphenated Americans. They are not Americans at all, except by the accident of residence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Social and Religious Life of Italians in America
I am writing in an endeavor to show things as I see them. The American public has read books on immigrants which were written from the anglo-saxon viewpoint, books that were more or less the result of outside study or of a short time spent among foreigners in America. My viewpoint is that of an Italian; of a foreigner who came to America already a young man. I write from within, striving to show how a for eigner feels.
