Excerpt from The Republic, or a History of the United States of America in the Administrations, Vol. 18 of 18: From the Monarchic Colonial Days to the Present Times Whether this should be the final volume of this work or not, may be a matter of question. But in the discussion of this point the author is not disposed to take a prominent part. The period treated of, and in which is embraced most things now of interest in this Government and people, terminates with the subject of this volume: that is, the work of reconstruction after the War of the Rebellion. Another similar work, beginning where this ends, must be the history of a new era in the life of the Republic, of new men, new measures, new events, new spirit, of a regenerated nationality. My task here ends. And the fact that the end has been reached does not vindicate the infallibility of those prophets who broadly intimated that the plan and undertaking were too vast for one man, and that the work should have been weakened, and its spirit, tone, and unity of purpose broken by the cooperation of several hands, of "many men of many minds."
