A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The future history of the United States is a subject of deep interest. We are come to a very important period in our course. The strength of our political system is beginning to be tried. The tendencies of our institutions are becoming apparent. The elements which form a general national character, are combining and coalescing. It is emphatically a day of trial. Every thing is subjected to a rigid scrutiny. Merely prescriptive rights are abandoned. Reliance upon authority is given up. Such being the condition of the country, it is not an inappropriate question, What is to be done? There are local divisions, civil strifes, rival religious denominations, great questions pending in political economy, interesting relations with other portions of the world, and boundless resources for good or evil.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
