 | "A new century dawns upon the world today. The hundred years just
completed were the most momentous in the history of man upon this planet.
It would be impossible in a hundred days to make even a brief summary of
the notable events, the marvelous developments, the grand achievements and
the beneficial inventions and discoveries, which mark the progress of the
ten decades now left behind in the ceaseless march of humanity. The very
mention of the nineteenth century suggested advancement, improvement,
liberty and light. Happy are we to have lived amidst its wonders and
shared in the riches of its treasures of intelligence!" | |

really stupid or not. It tooks me years to find out...." | |
