The smoky bars seemed to fit in just fine, and they were filled with nefarious-looking people (not that I'm judging).

Hill’s book is in many ways characteristic of the era, whether its epistolary format, its Anglicized prose, its unidentified author, or its pious message. But “The Power of Sympathy” also includes themes that reflected the aspirations and anxieties of a young country and still resonate now.
