Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beliefs of the Unbelievers, and Other Discourses My own information on these matters is got at second hand. But deeming the New American Cyclopedia a good authority, I consulted it, _ and therein read that the vast plain east of the {ocky Mountains, including the great lakes and mighty rivers, is the most fertile region of the continent. A Mr. Frost, of Nebraska, stated some time ago, that he had been searching ten years for the Great American Desert, and had found a tract of country that would support the millions of a future popula tion. If Mr. James reported correctly the superficial aspect of the country, he did not do justice to the geological character of the soil.
