Fifty years hence: or, What may be in 1943: A prophecy supposed to be based on scientific deductions by an improved graphical method
Grimshaw, Robert
Twentieth century -- Forecasts; Utopias
On a grassy sun-kissed slope overlooking the beautiful harbor of New
York, a massive granite cube bearing his name, and the dates of his
birth and death, covers the silent tomb of Roger Brathwaite. Peace to
his ashes no less than to his daring spirit, which laid bare the inmost
heart of the dead past, and would have wrested its every secret from
all time to come.
THE END.
