Domingo faustino sarmiento (1811-1888), argentine educator, statesman, and writer, self-educated after the model of benjamin franklin, was "not a man but a nation," in the words of mrs. Horace mann. Like de tocqueville, this remarkable man visited the united states in its early years and wrote a detailed account of this new phenomenon. Full of shrewd social commentary and unique vignettes of the america of this period-of boston, for instance, where sarmiento met the horace manns and later emerson and longfellow-travels should take its place among the important commentaries on the united states written during the last century by foreign visitors.
