ABSTRACT
Peace on earth, and good will to men! be the anthem over the advent of this New Year; the first of the last half of the Nineteenth Century. Glory to God in the highest! for all that has been done for Humanity for the last 50 years. May no chapters of the crime and misery of war be written in the last half of the volume! Who can tell what records it will contain? The Great Exhibition, and the Peace Congress in London, are to inaugurate its first year’s progress. What will come / next? The mind of the age is awake, and pressing forward.
