world after it, were scarcely more
different IN these respects, than Eng
land when Rogers was born, and Eng
landwhen he died. The advances made
In material progress are even greater.
Rogers found turnpikes just coming
in; he left railroads everywhere thread
ing the land. He found slow, clumsy
ships; he left swift-gOing steamers
He found a tardy post for the trans
mission of news and letters; be left
the magnetic telegraph. He found the
suburbs sKarming with highway-men;
he left a police that kept guard over
the whole kingdom. Perhaps never
since the world began, has there been
SO much progress, in every department
of civilized life as during the ninety
years of Rogers. PhsIa. Ledger.
