A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Contemporary Evolution. CHAPTER I. INTR on UCTO.R Y. I HE inexperienced traveller who, having been wearied by the repeated slow ascents and drag-wheeled descents of a tedious coach road, afterwards surveys from a neighbouring mountain the route he has pursued, may not improbably feel surprise at the inconspieuousness of undulations which, while being traversed, seemed so considerable. The survey of the path of human social evolution from a stand-point as yet inaccessible to us, would no doubt in most cases similarly affect that estimate of the importance of his own epoch which each observer, reflecting on contemporary social phenomena, is apt to form. Nevertheless, as in spite of the relative evenness of the worlds surface as a whole, there are here and there exceptional conditions sheer precipices of both ascent and descent; so history exhibits parallel phenomena which exceptionally demarcate comparatively uneventful areas.
