Early Times On The Susquehanna Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Susquehanna, Vol. 17: October 1906 Time brings many changes. The history of the world presents to us a Series Of marvelous pictures. As we tread back through the musty corridors Of the past, we behold empires rising and falling; we are impressed by the majesty of princes, the order and harmony and civil societies; the legal attainments Of a Solon, the philosophy Of a Plato, yet the scrolls Of time as they are Slowly unrolled by a phantom hand, as it were, seem to reveal nothing but change here and change there. The earliest antiquity lies buried in Silence and Oblivion. Long years ago, the lights of the Chaldean and Babylonian monarchies were extinguished; at one time Greece and Egypt could boast of existence, but this time is passed; Rome and her Caesars are no more; England with her Wellington trained Soldiery sent Napo leon's vaulting ambitions of a world empire flying into exile, while the same troops fresh from Waterloo quickly yielded to the back-woodsmen Of America at New Orleans.
