Excerpt from Morchester a Story of American Society, Politics, and Affairs Morchester has been an important city of the Middle States for at least three generations. The encyclopaedias say that it is well situated for many kinds of manufacture and for commerce; that it has a long water front, and can be reached by vessels of considerable size. Washington Street runs from the water through the heart of the city to rough fields that have lost the bloom of the country and gathered only the litter of the town. Midway between down-town and out-of-town this street is lined with blocks of substantial houses; to occupy one of these dwellings is presumptive evidence of opulence if not of position. Toward the end of the nineteenth century there lived at No. 621 Washington Street Mrs. Thurlow Thane and her niece, Mary Ellerton, the only child of Francis and Elizabeth Ellerton of New York.

Excerpt from Remarks on the Past and Its Legacies to American Society In the prosecution of my favorite study of history, I have thought that I discerned two great events, towards which the movements of society and the arrangements of Providence have converged, in the ancient and modern worlds respectively: - the introduction of Christianity and the birth of the American Democracy. In regard to the former, I have not the slightest claim to originality, and merely aspire to present, in a somewhat striking and popular form, views long entertained by the profoundest of the continental philosophers; but if I am right in the belief that American society is not only the last, but the noblest birth of Time, an American thinker, especially if he be a Protestant, is more favorably situated for taking just views of the philosophy of modern history, than one, however able and learned who has grown up in the shadow of those ancient institutions which have outlived their original uses. In the following pages I have attempted to trace the progress of society down to that remarkable epoch, when the best products of the Christian civilization were transplanted to the virgin soil of America.
