The piece urges open inquiry and cautions against prejudice while praising pursuit of truth.

Progress of America argued cities to outpace farms
The Edinburg Review discusses that non-slaveholding states may form a nation of cities as census shows cities and large towns grow faster than rural areas. From 1830 to 1840 New Yorks fourteen largest towns rose 644 percent versus state 19 percent. Ohio towns 133 percent versus state 62. Railroads steam and telegraph will accelerate urban growth, raising fear that cities may own land and rent it to Europe’s bidders as land profits fall.
