"French & English: A Comparison" by Philip Gilbert Hamerton is a non-fiction comparative analysis written in the late 19th century. The book reflects on the cultural, political, and societal differences and similarities between the French and English during this period, aiming for an impartial perspective. Hamerton discusses the various aspects of national identity, education, and societal norms in both countries without leaning towards nationalistic bias. The opening of this work sets the stage for a thoughtful examination of the fundamental characteristics that define French and English societies. Hamerton notes that the book evolved from a series of articles published in "The Atlantic Monthly" and emphasizes his intentions of impartiality, addressing both nations’ shortcomings and virtues. He expresses his belief in the importance of mutual respect and understanding between countries, advocating that writers should eschew prejudice to foster peace and collaboration. The first chapter begins with discussions on physical education in England compared to France, highlighting differences in training, sports, and activities that shape the two national characters.
