Book Description
Excerpt from The Progress of the Empire State, Vol. 1: A Work Devoted to the Historical, Financial, Industrial, and Literary Development of New York; New York State and City The predominance of New York in the American Union at the beginning of our history would not have signified much in comparison with larger cities in other countries. When Wall Street marked the upper limits of the thickly settled portion of the city, and aristocratic farms were found in the neighborhood of Washington Square, New York was a negligible factor in the finance of the world. She was over shadowed by London, Paris, Berlin, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Vienna, Frankfort, and other centers of the ten century old civilization of Europe. To-day, only one city in the world surpasses New York in population; only two compete with her in the magnitude of their enterprises, the completeness of their commercial machinery, and the ac cumulation of wealth which is reflected in their brilliant cosmopolitan life.

Book Description
This eBook edition of "History of the United States" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "History of the United States" is a monumental synthesis of American History subsequently produced by Charles A. Beard and his wife, Mary R. Beard. This book covers a period from the beginning of American Colonization to the establishment of The League of Nations. Charles Austin Beard (1874-1948) was one of the most influential American historians of the 20th century. For a while he was a history professor at Columbia University but his influence came from hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. His works included a radical re-evaluation of the founding fathers of the United States, who he believed were motivated more by economics than by philosophical principles. Mary Ritter Beard (1876-1958) was an American historian and archivist, who played an important role in the women's suffrage movement and was a lifelong advocate of social justice through educational and activist roles in both the labor and woman's rights movements.
