Excerpt from The Old South and the New: A Complete Illustrated History of the Southern States, Their Resources, Their People and Their Cities, and the Inspiring Story of Their Wonderful Growth in Industry and Riches; From the Earliest Times to the Jamestown Exposition
We congratulate the public on the completion and publication of Charles Morris" new book on the "Old South and the New." This is not a hastily prepared work. The author began the task many years ago. The volume is the result of much patient research and time spent in libraries and in historical centers and localities where facts could be gathered from the most authentic sources and where light could be thrown upon conditions that had to be relied upon in treating the subject in hand.
Mr. Morris is a historian of recognized ability. His works, "The Aryan Race" and "Civilization and Its Elements," are accepted as authorities in universities and reference libraries everywhere. He is also a scientist of broad knowledge, having added many valuable documents to the archives of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the Academy of Natural Sciences. His services in preparing encyclopedias and dictionaries have been sought and employed by compilers of the greatest works of this character in America. His school histories of the United States have been recognized, both North and South, for many years as most accurate in fact, fair and unprejudiced in statement to all sections of the country. The long and careful training and thorough equipment of Mr. Morris for a work of patient research, and the painstaking care and time which he has devoted to the preparation of this work enables us to speak with confidence in recommending it to the public as the only work of its kind, and as most accurately and conscientiously done.
