Excerpt from The History of the Great Republic, Considered From a Christian Stand-Point
The time has come for the reconsideration of the history of the United States. The moral revolution which our recent struggle has developed indicates the existence of profounder principles and a loftier purpose in the origin, structure, and development of the Great Republic. Than any heretofore distinctly recognized by historical writers.

The stand-point which reveals distinctly the force by which the im probabilities of our progress have been achieved must be more com manding than any which has heretofore only-shown to the world an energetic people struggling for ascendency among the nations of the earth. If we are to obtain a View of the real contents of our historical globe, it must certainly be by a clearer light and a more searching ex amination than any which have thus far revealed only its outer crust.
