Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old and New, Vol. 7 "Now the New Year reviving Old Desires, The thoughtful soul to solitude retires." Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. A year ago we were reviewing here the year 1871, which will probably stand as one of the remarkable years in History. We named, of course, the destruction of the heart of the city of Chicago as one of the most terrible of its calamities. A year passes by, and we look back upon the year 1872, a year of peace and prosperity, for most of the world; but we write in the sight of wide-spread ruin in the city where this journal is published, - ruin from which the smoke is still rising. In general calamity it is trifling to speak of personal losses except by way of illustration. But one illustration, though it be a small one, will answer for a thousand. And the way in which this calamity affects separate interests may be seen, when we say that the gentlemen who have always furnished the paper for this journal lost their immense warehouse, - that our admirable printers saw the ruin of their well-furnished printing house, one of the largest in America, - and that the artists who were furnishing our Christmas present to our readers have saved nothing from the complete ruin of their establishment. For this reason some of the later applicants upon our lists must await, for a few weeks, the renewal of the lithographic stones from which Mr. Billings´s picture is printed.
