Excerpt from The Quaker Soldier, or the British in Philadelphia: An Historical Novel Philadelphia is but one of many great cities which have kept even pace until a civic cluster has grown up, the like nowhere else seen now, nor ever, except in the Magna Grascia of Ancient Italy. Where else -in what single nation of modern times - do we find four such cities as Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, in such close proximity? France has her Paris, but where are her three other cities comparable to ours? Austria has her Vienna, but what else? Even England has no second city to contest the palm with the second of our glorious galaxy. The rise of our great cities is but one chapter. A lifetime ago reaches beyond the birth of the Great Republic. Within that brief period - that single point on the surface of history-a great power has grown up, indisputably Of the first class among the nations of the earth. Men have witnessed great em pires formed gradually, like Rome and Russia; or rapidly, like Alexander's, Genghis Khan's, and Na poleon's; but they were the gathering under one government of nations already in being, without any real increase of resources, and Often with a loss. Ours is a new creation, not a mere concentration; ours is a new power, created out of the raw material of national greatness. Where else does a single lifetime cover similar grand results?
