Welcome, you will notice all the works I have added are from the Popular Science collection; I enjoy adding esoteric works chiefly - since the tremendously insightful and well-researched articles are sadly about twenty pages long, while the quirky and esoteric ones are about five pages long. But if you find a particularly interesting work, no matter the length, I am willing to help you proofread it since it gives me the opportunity to read it! :)

"The centralization of the Federal Government, which set in so irresistibly with the civil war...
...wield[s] an authority over the individual far in excess of the fears of the fathers."
