A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

So great and widespreading is the change that has taken place since that time, that those who are living in the midst of the present rush and whirl of life cannot possibly comprehend the vastness of it, or realize the wholly altered circumstances of the times in which their lot is cast. Two classes of writers pass judgment on these changes, the one condemning all progress as evil, and looking back on the days that are gone, shining golden through the haze of distance; while the other considers that the old and the past was narrow and contemptible, and unworthy to be named in comparison with the present. I shall endeavour to avoid both these extremes, striving rather, in the first place, to relate focts and customs concerning the education and modes of life of half a century ago (of which the young of the present day can form no notion); and, secondly, the social progress of that period. That some methods were, in my estimation, better then than now, I shall not attempt to deny; but that the world is nevertheless advancing, and not retrograding, is, and always has been, my firm belief. We cannot, if we would, make the clock go back instead of forward.
