To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The value of property^ of all kinds, rapidly increased, and men became rich by magic. Villages and cities sprung into being at the command of those who had become suddenly invested with fictitious power. There was hurrying to and fipo. Men were nervous, restless, impatient of the slow processes of doing bu- siness and getting wealth. Factories were reared and fiwrc- ed into operation with incredible quickness ; and Railroads were projected and put under contract with a recklessness astonishing ...to men in soberer times. The slow way of trav- elling of our fathers suddenly yielded to the Iron Horse that went dashing and snorting across the land. Now it is evident this state of things was not without its good effects ; it quick- ened the public mind so that in a few years objects were se- cured which ordinarily require many. But that there were evils connected with it, no reflecting man can doubt. The excitement which existed in the business wcM-ld per- vaded also the moral. Schemes of benevolence were sudden- ly devised and pushed forward with surprising velocity.
