hhsAbhN LMfAhhs OF the GREAT Drama of HUI
man Progress BY E. l.. Magoon, author of
"orltors of the American Revolution Liv-
ing Orators in America" &c New York
Harper Brothers, publishers
The motive of thic work is to demonstrate tbs
fact that civilization has BY natural movement
gone from East to West, in all ages Of the world.
Ihe author has been led to this view by taking
catholic survey of every Christian nation that has
risen above the horizon of history. He says ''this
work is not much the deferce of a theory as it
is the display of facts and the deduction of gen
era principle consequent thereon. The travels
of men and the trade currents OF God move spon-
taneously and perpstually toward the West The
opposite direction is always down East, while all
wealthful expansion and improvement is Out
West " Mr. Magoon is bold thinker and his
rhetoric is forcibe and eloquent. The reader will
be deeply interested in following this theory
through the four hundred and forty five pages of
this book. For sale in this city by 2. Baker &
