A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

What is the philosophy of history and social evolution? a narrative of events; battles lost and won; or governments and empires overthrown? It has been an awful tragedy, but not without a lesson for mankind. Are famine, pestilence, and wax necessary means to an end in the economy of nature? They have been hitherto, but that does not imply there is to be no end of famine, pestilence, and war. We are told in Scripture that wars shall be no more, when man shall be raised from the animal to the human state of moral and social perfectibility; When is that to be? Scripture seems to contradict known facts of nature, but is there any real contradiction? The same Almighty will created animals and men; wolves to prey on lambs, and men to slay each other. Tigers are impelled by nature to slaughter timid animals, and one race of mankind has been commanded to exterminate another.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
