Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The Destiny of America is a subject freighted with many grand and noble ideas, and one which should engage the attention of every patriot, statesman and scholar, and, indeed, of all, whether of high or low degree.

It is not in its truest and widest range confined to either the United States, Canada or Mexico, but to all - in fact, to the entire Continent.

The following essay is the result of no inconsiderable research, travel, observation and consideration: the chief difficulty in its preparation has been in the condensation and arrangement of the mass of matter which presented itself; sufficient matter relating to this fruitful subject could be found to fill many volumes.

The essay will be found to be divided into three parts, - the first relates to the United States, its area, physical resources, capabilities of its people, etc.; the second treats of Canada in the same manner; the third aims to show the effect Christian civilization will have on the whole human race, the part the American people are to play in this process of civilization, and the results which will spring from the political union of the United States and Canada.
