iod 10 W. i n they were the actors, and
such a history now first sees the light
In John Bach MoMaster's "History
Of the people Of the United States"
the first volume Of which has recently
made It's appearance.
Mr.. McMsster's history presents
q vivid picture Of the condition Of
things at the time we have In view.
There we're no railroads, no steam.
boats, or even good roads for q long
distance. The mails were uncertain
and infrequent and the service expen.
sive. Home spun garments were
almost universally prevalent In the
rural districts. Tne public school
system was nearly entirely undevelop-
ed, and II Is almost impossible to place
full confidence In the description
given Of the penal system. Criminal
men and women we're huddled together
In ~unoleanly enclosures, In which
prostitutes openly piled their
trade. In one case q deserted
mine was used as q prison and cap
tives chained In Its dripping recesses.
In every department where philan.
throphy now finds active employment
the condition Of affairs was fearful.
Sanitary measures for the protection
of health were OF the orudest kind
and e~pidemics swept of thousands,
while ignorant physicians looked on
in silent helplessness.
The social advancement which We
have experienced since the good old
times which Mr.. McMakter tells about
Is no less remarkable than our ma.
serial progress. Our opinion Of oul
ancestors will not be at all
improved by looking at thei,
pictures 81 here presented.

much more openly prevalent In soci
