Sinopsis

Excerpt from Lesser Questions

Shadowy, with the passing of the first Reform Bill. It is surely true, however, that no time has been so full Of interest, SO replete with events and discoveries which have influenced the character Of our people and the trend Of our history, than the last sixty years. The great political struggle was over. Reform changed the polity Of the country. Our industrial system had been newly equipped with steam practically applied. We need not now enter into any Of the profound causes which influenced our life and country and have brought about the complex problems of our modern life. Still, it may be inter esting to indicate some of the contrasts between now and eighty years ago. The whole gigantic system of railways in England, the development Of the Press, the cheapening Of every article Of daily want, the application Of machinery to industrial works, - these are a few Of the momentous changes. That which has affected us more than any other was the introduction Of railways in the facility they gave for rapid communi cation and for bringing every part Of the country Into personal contact with the others.
