Excerpt from American Progress: A Lecture Delivered Before the Young Men's Mercantile Library Association of Cincinnati, December 3, 1846
Having by such views quickened your Patriotism and revived your hopes, then erect the standard of Absolute Right, and the glaring defects of your country, when thus tested, will restrain pride, take down the extravagance of hope, and provoke to untiring effort for its reform.
Despair, like the Dead Sea, can sustain no living thing in its depths. Bereave a man of hope, make him believe that he is utterly worthless, and you have taken one way to accomplish his ruin. He who has a Future may reform he who has both a Past and Future may hope for perfection. How the soul must be energized that can look back upon a pathway adorned by the evidences of its good deeds! While it humbles itself in the presence of the Infinite Good, such retrospection awakens self-respect, begets elevation of sentiment, reduces the power of evil motive, and stimulates to nobler activity.

Statistical information on territorial growth, expansion of the population, and integration of territories such as Louisiana are used to demonstrate the rapid development taking place, and are analyzed and contextualized within a broader American historical and political framework. The author also discusses growth in commerce, the internal improvements such as canals and railroads, expansion of the postal service, development of education, and expansion of religion. Analysis of these developments is used to illustrate the growth of American society and culture during this dynamic and formative period.
