Publisher's Synopsis
""History As A Condition Of Social Progress"" is a lecture delivered by Samuel Lucas at the Philosophical Institution in Bristol on April 11, 1853. In this lecture, Lucas argues that history is essential for social progress. He believes that the study of history allows us to learn from the mistakes of our ancestors and to avoid repeating them. Lucas also argues that history provides us with a sense of identity and helps us to understand our place in the world. The lecture is a thought-provoking exploration of the importance of history in shaping society and is a valuable read for anyone interested in the subject. Published in 1853, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual climate of the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
