Excerpt from The Knickerbocker, or the New York Monthly Magazine, 1840, Vol. 16Crnmzarros is to Society, or to masses of men, what Education is to the individual. The History of Civilization is no other than the history of God's providence over our race. A brief consideration of some of the processes and instruments ordained by that Providence for developing the various capacities of the human soul, may be per haps both use iii and interesting.And, in pursuance of our theme, we may note first, the sin lat fact, that the original impulse to the Civiliz'ation of any given am munity comes ever from abroad. History furnishes, to our know ledge, no authenticated instance of a Society within whose own bosom sprun up the incentive and the system of means, whereby it was borne onward to the triumphs and blessings of afully civilized state.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
