** "Lectures Delivered in America in 1874" by Charles Kingsley is a series of talks given during a visit to America, probably in the 1870s, where Kingsley explores themes of historical appreciation and the connections between America and Europe; he highlights the importance of respecting history, especially through landmarks like Westminster Abbey, and he also looks at the cultural bond formed between Americans and Europeans. Kingsley thinks that admiring historical places helps young countries grow stronger and understand their own place in the world. Ultimately, Kingsley seeks to underscore the importance of understanding the past in order to help shape the present. **
