This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...in this latter direction it is notable that on March 1, 1879, being the first journal in the i city to agitate the matter, it called for an investiga'tion of the books of the tax collector of the TwentyI third Ward, and secured an inquiry which resulted in the unearthing of frauds. Progress, a weekly journal, was established in November, 1878, by Col. John W. Forney. While in Europe, in 1877, he was strongly urged by many Americans residing in London, and by others with interests there and on the continent, to establish an American weekly journal in the English capital. He gave this matter serious consideration, and, but for the objections of his wife to crossing the ocean, would in all probability have carried the plan into I effect. Having found it impossible, for this reason, to publish such a paper in London, he conceived the idea of printing, on his return to America, a periodical, modeled in great part upon the London World, owned and edited by Edmund Yates. The result was that, having returned to Philadelphia in the summer of 1878, the first number of Progress appeared on the 16th of November of that year, being the first paper of its kind in the United States. The original intention was that J'rogress should have very little to do with politics; to be not so much what is called a society journal, but rather a periodical independent upon all subjects, and chiefly of a literary character. This policy was continued for some time, but, as was entirely natural, considering Mr. Forney's long associations, it soon drifted into the political stream, and I became earnestly Republican, though outspoken in its criticism of party acts. It followed that course until the nomination of Gen. Hancock for President, on June 23,1880, when it...

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Philadelphia, 1609-1884, Vol. 1 of 3 The desire to leave nothing untold which could in any way throw light upon the history of men, events, and institutions in Philadelphia has made it impossible at times to escape repetition. Facts, which fall within the proper cognizance of the narrative of general events, will sometimes reappear in another shape in the records of institutions or in special chapters. But the fault will claim the reader's indulgence, because intelligent persons prefer a twice-told tale to one neglected or half tad. Several of the themes or chapters of the homogeneous whole have been treated by those who have some particular association or long acquaintance with the subject. In the diversity of writers there will of course be variety of opinions, but they make good the poet's description.
