Excerpt from The Cosmopolitan Railway, Compacting and Fusing Together All the World's Continents
It was first so thought of our continent, from the magnitude Of its area, from its sublime economy of structure. And from its being in form a compact island set out in the circumambient oceans. It is this peculiarity Of structure, together with a partial isolation, and the exemption from the eu tanglements and barriers which characterize the older continents, that have made possible and easy the rapid strides in the general development of humanity to a higher and more enduring condition of refinement, and the evolution of institutions propitious to it. Emancipation by machines, and fusion by rail roads, reenforced by a propitious climatology, are here united to urge on our people in the channels of unin terrupted progress.
