The World was formed in 1860. From 1862 to 1876, it was edited by Manton Marble, who was also its proprietor at the time. After Marble ran into financial trouble, he was forced to sell the unsuccessful newspaper. In 1864, the World was shut down for three days after it published forged documents from Abraham Lincoln.

“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“It takes twenty years or more of peace to make a man; it takes only twenty seconds of war to destroy him.”
