Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address to Alumni of Kenyon College, June 23, 1880
The material world is well nigh subdued, for it pre sents no obstacles to the path of human improvement which the enterprise of the race has not shown itself com petent to overcome. As for the rest, it is but a question of time; and it is not unreasonable to predict that the momentum already acquired will lend speed to the rate of future progress in the same direction.
