The American Credo	comment	The American Credo is a philosophical tract originally written by George Jean Nathan and H. L. Mencken in 1920. Subtitled "A Contribution Toward the Interpretation of the National Mind," it attempts a serious examination of the often ludicrous ideas found to be common among Americans.The main text of this work is an enumeration of myths, stereotypes, superstitions, nostrums and base beliefs of the American people, succinctly listed. The catalogue is preceded by an essay, which in the first edition takes up a greater number of pages than the 488 items themselves (much like those prefacing several of George Bernard Shaw's plays). The "Revised and Expanded Edition" published a year or so later supplied 381 additional items. The New American Credo (1927), which omits the original preface and was published under Nathan's name alone, renumbered, expanded and thoroughly updated the catalogue, bringing the number of items to 1231.
