CONCLUSION.
Dismissing hope of making my small voice heard in mitigation of the woes
of my State, in May, 1873, I went to Europe and remained many months.
Returned to New York, I found that the characters on the wall, so long
invisible, had blazed forth, and the vast factitious wealth, like the
gold of the dervish, withered and faded in a night. The scenes depicted
of Paris and London, after the collapse of Mississippi schemes and South
Sea bubbles, were here repeated on a greater scale and in more
aggravated form. To most, the loss of wealth was loss of ancestry,
repute, respectability, decency, recognition of their fellows--all.
Small wonder that their withers were fearfully wrung, and their wails
piteous. Enterprise and prosperity were frozen as in a sea of
everlasting ice, and guardians of trusts, like Ugolino, plunged their
robber fangs into the scalps and entrails of the property confided to
them.
A public journal has recently published a detailed list, showing that
there has been plundered by fiduciaries since 1873 the amazing amount of
thirty millions of money; and the work goes on. Scarce a newspaper is
printed in whose columns may not be found some fresh instance of breach
of trust. As poisoning in the time of Brinvilliers, stealing is
epidemic, and the watch-dogs of the flocks are transformed into wolves.
Since the tocsin sounded we have gone from bad to worse. During the past
summer (1877) laborers, striking for increased wages or to resist
diminution thereof, seized and held for many days the railway lines
between East and West, stopping all traffic. Aided by mobs, they took
possession of great towns and destroyed vast property. At Pittsburgh,
in Pennsylvania, State troops attempting to restore order were attacked
and driven off. Police and State authorities in most cases proved
impotent, and the arm of Federal power was invoked to stay the evil.
Thousands of the people are without employment, which they seek in vain;
and from our cities issue heartrending appeals in behalf of the
suffering poor. From the Atlantic as far to the west as the young State
of Nebraska, there has fallen upon the land a calamity like that
afflicting Germany after the Thirty Years' War. Hordes of idle, vicious
tramps penetrate rural districts in all directions, rendering property
and even life unsafe; and no remedy for this new disease has been
discovered. Let us remember that these things are occurring in a country
of millions upon millions of acres of vacant lands, to be had almost for
the asking, and where, even in the parts first colonized, density of
population bears but a small relation to that of western Europe. Yet we
daily assure ourselves and the world that we have the best government
under the canopy of heaven, and the happiest land, hope and refuge of
humanity.
Purified by fire and sword, the South has escaped many of these evils;
but her enemies have sown the seeds of a pestilence more deadly than
that rising from Pontine marshes. Now that Federal bayonets have been
turned from her bosom, this poison, the influence of three fourths of a
million of negro voters, will speedily ascend and sap her vigor and
intelligence. Greed of office, curse of democracies, will impel
demagogues to grovel deeper and deeper in the mire in pursuit of
ignorant votes. Her old breed of statesmen has largely passed away
during and since the civil war, and the few survivors are naturally
distrusted, as responsible for past errors. Numbers of her gentry fell
in battle, and the men now on the stage were youths at the outbreak of
strife, which arrested their education. This last is also measurably
true of the North. Throughout the land the experience of the active
portion of the present generation only comprises conditions of discord
and violence. The story of the six centuries of sturdy effort by which
our English forefathers wrought out their liberties is unknown,
certainly unappreciated. Even the struggles of our grandfathers are
forgotten, and the names of Washington, Adams, Hamilton, Jay, Marshall,
Madison, and Story awaken no fresher memories in our minds, no deeper
emotions in our hearts, than do those of Solon, Leonidas, and Pericles.
But respect for the memories and deeds of our ancestors is security for
the present, seed-corn for the future; and, in the language of Burke,
"Those will not look forward to their posterity who never look backward
to their ancestors."
Traditions are mighty influences in restraining peoples. The light that
reaches us from above takes countless ages to traverse the awful chasm
separating us from its parent star; yet it comes straight and true to
our eyes, because each tender wavelet is linked to the other, receiving
and transmitting the luminous ray. Once break the continuity of the
stream, and men will deny its heavenly origin, and seek its source in
the feeble glimmer of earthly corruption.

The publishers feel justified in saying that the contemporaneous art of
no country has ever been so adequately represented in a single volume as
our American Painters are in this work, while the engravings are equal
in execution to the finest examples of wood-engraving produced here or
abroad.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"The richest and in many ways the most notable of fine art books is
'American Painters,' just published, with unstinted liberality in the
making. Eighty-three examples of the work of American artists,
reproduced in the very best style of wood-engraving, and printed with
rare skill, constitute the chief purpose of the book; while the text
which accompanies them, the work of Mr. George W. Sheldon, is a series
of bright and entertaining biographical sketches of the artists, with a
running commentary--critical, but not too critical--upon the peculiarities
of their several methods, purposes, and conceptions."--_New York
Evening Post._
"The volume gives good evidence of the progress of American art. It
shows that we have deft hands and imaginative brains among painters of
the country, and it shows, moreover, that we have publishers who are
liberal and cultured enough to present their works in a handsome and
luxurious form that will make them acceptable. 'American Painters' will
adorn the table of many a drawing-room where art is loved, and where it
is made still dearer from the fact that it is native."--_New York
Express._
"It is at once a biographical dictionary of artists, a gallery of pen
portraits and of beautiful scenes, sketched by the painters and
multiplied by the engraver. It is in all respects a work of art, and
will meet the wants of a large class whose tastes are in that
direction."--_New York Observer._
"One of the most delightful volumes issued from the press of this
country."--_New York Daily Graphic._
"Outside and inside it is a thing of beauty. The text is in large, clear
type, the paper is of the finest, the margins broad, and the
illustrations printed with artistic care. The volume contains brief
sketches of fifty prominent American artists, with examples from their
works. Some idea of the time and labor expended in bringing out the work
may be gathered from the fact that to bring it before the public in its
present form cost the publishers over $12,000."--_Boston Evening
Transcript._
"This book is a notable one, and among the many fine art books it will
rank as one of the choicest, and one of the most elegant, considered as
an ornament or parlor decoration. The engravings are in the highest
style known to art. Mr. Sheldon has accompanied the illustrations with a
series of very entertaining biographical sketches. As far as possible,
he has made the artists their own interpreters, giving their own
commentaries upon art and upon their purposes in its practice instead of
his own."--_Boston Post._
"'American Painters' consists of biographical sketches of fifty leading
American artists, with eighty-three examples of their works, engraved on
wood with consummate skill, delicacy of touch, and appreciation of
distinctive manner. It is a gallery of contemporary American
art."--_Philadelphia Press._
"This work is one of surpassing interest, and of marvelous typographical
and illustrative beauty."--_Philadelphia Item._
"The whole undertaking is a noble one, illustrative of the best period
of American art, and as such deserves the attention and support of the
public."--_Chicago Tribune._

THE
FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY EPOCH.
Being a History of France from the Beginning of the First French
Revolution to the End of the Second Empire.
BY
HENRI VAN LAUN,
Author of "History of French Literature," etc.
In 2 vols., 12mo. Cloth, $3.50.
"As a history for readers who are not disposed to make an exhaustive
study of the subject treated, the book impresses us as eminently
good."--_N.Y. Evening Post._
"This work throws a flood of light on the problems which are now
perplexing the politicians and statesmen of Europe."--_N.Y. Daily
Graphic._
"This is a work for which there is no substitute at present in the
English language. For American readers it may be said to have secured a
temporary monopoly of a most interesting topic. Educated persons can
scarcely afford to neglect it."--_N.Y. Sun._
"The opinion is here advanced and tolerably well fortified that Napoleon
would have been beaten at Waterloo if Bluecher had not come up. The book
is a compendium of the events between 1789 and 1871: it is a popular
treatment of the subject for students and family reading."--_Chicago
Tribune._
"Nothing can surpass the clearness of the narrative, and it may be truly
said that this history is as interesting as a romance."--_Philadelphia
Press._
"The general reader will get, as he goes along with it, a more distinct
idea of the salient features which marked the course of events than he
might from some of the thousand and one more picturesque and more
dramatic, but less truthful, histories of the same epoch."--_N.Y.
Express._
"We heartily commend it to our readers as one of the most compact,
attractive, trustworthy, and instructive historical works in
existence."--_Utica Daily Observer._
"The author shows judgment and skill in culling from the large materials
at command that which is of value, and also a masterly ability in
presenting them tersely, and at the same time throwing in enough of
incident and the lighter thought to make the volumes wholly
enjoyable."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
"If you desire to read facts and not theories, events and not
imaginings, in chaste though vigorous language, peruse these
volumes."--_Providence Press._
"The author has accomplished a difficult and much-needed undertaking in
a very satisfactory way."--_Boston Journal._
"No student of American history can afford to be without this
book."--_St. Louis Times-Journal._
