UNITED 
The history of the United States has been already given 
under the articles America, p. 470, London, 198, 260, 
360, and North America. Since those articles were 
written, North American has been engaged in no mar¬ 
tial exploits. Her government has been occupied during 
a long peace in administering to the wants of the people and 
to the security of the empire. But she has nothing where¬ 
with to fill the page of history. There is little of conflict or 
of party in her internal organization, and the settlement of 
her boundaries or the regulations of her commerce comprize 
all her foreign relations. “ The people of the United States,” 
says the eloquent Maclaren, “ find themselves in a condition 
to devote their whole energies to the cultivation of their vast 
natural resources, undistracted by wars, unburdened by op¬ 
pressive taxes, unfettered by old prejudices and corruptions. 
Enjoying the united advantages of an infant and a mature 
society, they are able to apply the highly refined science 
and art of Europe to the improvement of the virgin soil and 
unoccupied natural riches of America. They start unincum¬ 
bered by a thousand evils, political and moral, which weigh 
down the energies of the old world. The volume of our 
history lies before them: they may adopt our improvements, 
avoid our errors, take warning from our sufferings, and with

the combined lights of our experience and their own, build 
up a more perfect form of society. Even already, they have 
given some momentous and some salutary truths to the 
world. It is their rapid growth which has first developed 
the astonishing results of the productive powers of popula¬ 
tion. We can now calculate with considerable certainty, 
that America, which yet presents to the eye, generally, the 
aspect of an untrodden forest, will, in the short space of one 
century, surpass Europe in the number of its inhabitants. 
We even hazard little in predicting, that, before the tide of 
civilization has rolled back to its original seats, Assyria, 
Persia, and Palestine, an intelligent population of two or 
three hundred millions will have overspread the new world, 
and extended the empire of knowledge and the arts from 
Cape Horn to Alayska. Among this vast mass of civilized 
men, there will be but two languages spoken. The effect 
of this single circumstance in accelerating the progress of so¬ 
ciety, can scarcely be calculated. What a field will then 
be opened to the man of science, the artist, the popular 
writer, who addresses a hundred millions of educated per¬ 
sons ? What a stimulus given to mental energy and social 
improvement, when every new idea, and every useful dis¬ 
covery, v^ill be communicated instantaneously to so great a 
mass
