Is it to be wondered at, that a magnificent Illinois building adorns the grounds of the Jamestown Exposition, and that Illinois hearts everywhere beat in unison with yours in the celebration of one of the epoch-marking days of all the ages? "The time is propitious for setting history aright.
He would see what she could do with them. But she busied herself at the breakfast without a thought of the epoch-marking nature of these purchases. "Do you milk?" she asked, presently. "Milk what?" he demanded, pausing with stove-lid and lifter raised in his hand, in the half-completed act of putting wood on the fire. "Dave!" she cried. "Put that lid down. Look at the smoke."
The need for some such investigation was clearly shown by the publication of the late Professor William James's Varieties of Religious Experience and its reception by the religious press of the country as an epoch-marking work. As a mere collection of documents, the work is interesting enough. But its critical value is extremely small.
In 1681, while Malpighi's work, Anatomia plantarum, was on its way to the Royal Society for publication, Grew's Anatomy of Vegetables was in the hands of the publishers, making its appearance a few months earlier than the work of the great Italian.

And while war had wrought this beneficent change the population saw in this epoch-marking victory a merciful guiding Hand, for it had been achieved without so much as a stone of the City being scratched or a particle of its ancient dust disturbed. The Sacred Monuments and everything connected with the Great Life and its teaching were passed on untouched by our Army. Rightly did the people rejoice.
But his discursive mind ricochetted off to the laying of the Transatlantic cable, in '65; and he dwelt on that epoch-marking work with such minuteness of detail, and such confident mastery of names, dates, and so forth, that I half-resented not his disconcerting fund of information, but his modest reticence on other subjects of interest.
