Sinopsis
Excerpt from The History of Progress in Great Britain
It has been found that neither the cross, the sword, nor the Stake, nor these combined, can perpetuate error or extinguish truth. Those bearded men in their sacerdotal robes, who were once believed to be the appointed priesthood of the gods they revealed, have passed away themselves, their deities, their rites, are now known only upon the page of history while a few rude stones remain to Show the wreck Of their temples, and the fate of the workers of sacrifices.

Excerpt from The History of Progress in Great Britain
I Submit this volume of the "History of Progress" to the Reader's attention, believing that it contains some interesting facts and records not hitherto known, or, at least, not heretofore applied to demonstrate the growth of the British mind, and the development of our nation's material resources. Having preferred to divide the progress of the several branches of national industry and skill into distinct Sections, and to trace the growth of each separately, I must solicit the Reader and the Critic not to set down as omissions the absence of some matters which are not included in the present volume, solely on account of the classification I have adopted. For instance: the Section upon Horticulture, which remains to be written, will impart completeness to the Progress of Agriculture, herein contained; and in like manner, the Section upon Commerce will be found an essential addition to the Progress of Shipping, Navigation, and Geographical Discovery.
The Reader should remember two things. First, that the history is necessarily rapid, concise. In this volume there are contained four distinct Progresses, either of which might easily have been elaborated to the dimensions of the whole volume. Second, the Sectional Histories are brought down to the period which meets the introduction of steam power and machinery. The age of steam forms a strongly marked epoch, and will be fully considered in the Progress of Steam Navigation, Locomotion, etc.
I trust that, though concise, the History is not superficial. I have endeavoured to throw myself as far as possible into the moral and mental atmosphere which surrounded our fathers; I have striven to realize their life, thoughts, fears, and difficulties.
