This copy of the celebrated study by Mayor des Planches (b. Turin, 1851; d. Rome, 1920), written during his years in the U.S., is inscribed by the author to a baronessa.

During his travels across the U.S., while ambassador to Washington from 1901–1909, this Piedmontese aristocrat collected information on the demographics of Italian Americans, and reported his findings in this study.

Mayor des Planches extols the virtues of agricultural work, suggesting that Italians would do much better applying their native agricultural talents in the rural South than, seemingly, in the urban centers of the U.S.
