A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Our beliefs must be taken on the authority of parents and teachers. It is only with the access of years that reason develops far enough so that we seek the basis of accepted beliefs, that we confirm them or doubt or disbelieve. Many beliefs we have to take all our lives on the testimony of others. Travellers have told us of the city of Timbuktu, and we do not doubt its existence. We have seen it in the atlas, and that is enough. A hardy explorer has reached, or says he has, the South Pole, and we do not, or cannot, prove or disbelieve his claim, but we accept it. A multitude of other beliefs our own observation or reason confirms, and some it denies. Not all our beliefs accepted from parents or teachers can we easily test in any concrete way with eyes and ears. They are beliefs or opinions relating to matters of political wisdom, of social welfare, of religious creed and duty. These we have inherited and are very likely to hold because inherited, without seeking to test them.

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.
