The book contains articles that have appeared in The New York Times, dating from it's first editions in 1851 up to 1922. The compilation shows how the history, attitudes, and accepted wisdom of both America, and the publishers of The New York Times during past times, were often greatly in variance with today's awareness, world views and common beliefs. Included are situations and attitudes, which will, perhaps, shock, amaze and sometimes amuse the sensibilities of today. We believe that exposure to these sometimes forgotten periods of America's history, and attitudes of other times, will provide both interest and enlightenment for the reader. The article's presented are an eclectic potpourri, ranging over a wide variety of past events and attitudes.
