Excerpt from The Progress of Arctic Discovery: Address of Dr. Issac I. Hayes Before the American Geographical and Statistical Society

Geography might indeed be likened to an unfolding scroll, ever fresh with novelties to please the mind and delight the fancy. We read there the general progress of all the sciences and of the arts; of the influence of religion upon communities of men, and of schemes for their advancement; of everything, indeed, which concerns human history; of barbarous peoples brought within the pale of civilization, of new lands for enter prising men, new products for the lap of commerce.
