It is an epic on the marvels of intelligent work. The wonders of the material development of the most remarkable of the centuries of recorded time are exhibited in this gallery of pen-pictures. They are the word-paintings of artists, each eminent in his own department of beneficent industry. It is an American story; but the United States is the most conspicuous illustration and example of the nineteenth century and its results. Peace and free institutions have furnished the opportunity for individual efforts. States constructed, cities founded, wildernesses settled, and vast populations prosperous in varied industries are the rich contributions of our country to the world´s progress in the past hundred years. Capital and labor have caused and shared this creation of power and production, and this volume, which is an encyclopedia of industrial development for a century, written by business men, is appropriately dedicated to the business men of America.
