History of the New World Called America

Excerpt from History of the New World Called America, Vol. 2 Four centuries after its discovery, America still remains for us the New World; and the title is still justified, for the scroll containing its message to mankind is still being unfolded, and seems never to come to an end. As we pass from the geographical to the ethnographical aspect of the Discovery, it becomes invested with greater interest. That a continent half as large as the Old World, and peopled in every part, existed across the Atlantic was a surprising revelation.
