Show Editor. Progressive Opinion Egypt, Babylon, Greece, Persia, Carthage, Rome each grew and developed to prominence and dignity amidst the clash of arms and the din of war; and whilst their triumphant leaders led forth their victorious armies to glory and victory, their ears were saluted with the groans of the dying and the misery, and d stress of the human family; before them the earth was a paradise, and behind them a desolate wilderness; their kingdoms were founded in carnage and bloodshed, and sustained by oppression, tyrany, despotism.
