A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Progress From Experience CHAPTER I. PROGRESS IN PROGRESSION. The most constant, evident and general fact of civilization is progress, the forward movement. Recognizing this we as promptly become aware of a backward facing, wistful or well considered. The romancer finds rich material in the palmy days before the war, in the homespun age of New England and in the brave days of old when knighthood was in flower; while the serious student discovers that all revolutions have been too revolutionary, that part of that which was thought to be destroyed returns unbidden, or that men set about with earnest purpose to restore something of that which was overthrown. The change and advance which no mans hand may stay may be the bringing in of a better order of things in the general estimation or in reality, yet a very human clinging to the past is so large a characteristic of most of us that few words of our daily vocabulary bear to the understanding such an equivocal meaning as progress. No need to divide the human family into the two camps distinguished as conservative and progressive when even those who know their own minds find reason and justification for both sentiments and both attitudes.
