A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

Some old words, used in new meanings, and some new words. In this book, need explanation in the preface. I divide life, with all its thoughts and occupations, into four main parts or branches, Industry, Polity, Sociality, and Religion; and time into eight periods or steps, the First or Australian; the Second or Iroquois; the Third or Polynesian; the Fourth or Bronze; the Fifth or Greek-Roman; the Sixth or Medieval; the Seventh or Press; and the Eighth or Steam Era. The first division may be called vital or occupational, the second chronological. Industry, as here used in its most comprehensive sense, includes all the useful arts, and, among others, commerce, navigation, transportation, geographical discovery, and the application of science to practical purposes. It supplies not only food, clothing, and shelter, but also the weapons, with which political organizations are defended, and the materials with which thought is recorded.
