Á 1000 ára afmæli Alþingis og hins Hjer er eJcki um nein tímamót að ræða, íslenska rikis, er rjett að horfa yfir far- nema að árum. Þjóðin er í önnum, og alt inn veg og íhuga, hvemig þjóðarhögum ber þess vitni, hvert sem litið er. Alt er vorum er nú komið. 1 þessu blaði er gerð hjer eins og hólfgert, líkt og um miðjan nokkur tiiraun að gefa lesendum útsýn bjargræðistíma — framfarirnar í miðju yfir stofnun og þróunarsögu Alþingis og kafi eins og hálfsögð saga. En einmitt jafnframt yfir nokkra helstu þætti þjóð- vegna þess, hefir sú kynslóð, sem nú er lífsins — atvinnuvegi og þjóðmenningu. uppi, bjargfgsta trú á landinu — að hjer Er hjer brugðið upp nokkrum myndum sje enn ófundin margskonar auðæfi, að frá niðurlægingartímunum, en meiri al- hjer sje nóg orka til þess að vinna þa/u úð hefir þó verið lögð við það, að lýsa verk, er hafið geti hina fámennu þjóð hinu stutta framfaraskeiði þjóðarinnar, til vegs og gengis á komandi öldmn. og hvemig umhorfs er í landinu. In celebrating the miUenary of the Ice- landic Althing, or Parliament, and at the same time that of Iceland as an organized community or a State, it is well to look back surveying the past, and also to con- template the present state of the country. In this issue of MORGUNBLAÐIÐ an attempt is macle to present to our rea- ders a survey of the establishing of the ' Althing together urith an outline of the .subsequent history of the institution as well as the salient points of the indust- rial and cultural history of the country. While a few sketches are given of the haæassing period of national misery, more attention has been paid to describing re- cent times of renaissance and progress and to illustrating the conditions at pre- sent prevailing in the country. Except as regards dates in the calendar there is at this juncture no question of the closing or the opening of an epoch. The people a/re exceedingly busy, and no matter v/here the spectator tnrns his eye this fact is borne out; everything seems to be ont'" half achieved, as things are apt to be in the busy season of the year. Progress is merely progressing, and so the story can be told onLy in part. But from this very fact it follows that the present ge- neration has an unshakable faith in the country and looks towards the future with an optimistic eye, believing that the country still possesses undiscovered re- sources as well as abundant power for developing these, and that the potential wealth at present latent will prove a lever ; for raising our little nation to greater | heights of economic prosperity and cul- tural importance in times to come.
