About the author
Born in Davenport, Iowa, on May 25, 1860, Price Collier was an American writer who spent part of his youth in Switzerland and England. He studied in Leipzig and at Harvard Divinity School, became a Unitarian clergyman, and left the ministry in 1891 to devote himself to writing.
Collier became known for brisk, observant books about national character and public life. Among the works confirmed in available sources are America and the Americans from a French Point of View (1897), England and the English from an American Point of View (published in 1909; later editions followed), The West in the East from an American Point of View (1911), and Germany and the Germans from an American Point of View (1913). Contemporary reference sources describe these books as keen studies of how different societies saw themselves and each other.
He died on November 3, 1913, on Funen in Denmark. No suitable verified portrait image was available from the pages I could confirm during this search, so none is included here.
