Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Processes of History
Lies within our power to make our inquiries con tributory to the well-being of our fellow-men? We must admit that While, during the last fifty years, the students of Nature have most signifi cantly enlarged the knowledge of the world in which we live, the students of Man have made no such striking advance in their field of investi tion. It is true that we have been persistent in the collection of facts, and in the refinement of the technique of investigation, but it would seem as if the utilization of all this accumulated knowl edge in the spirit of modern science might now be undertaken. What, then, is presented here is a tentative statement, based upon the application of the method of science to the facts of History, made in the earnest belief that inquiry conducted along the lines marked out must ultimately lead to an understanding of the difficulties that beset our civilization, and to a furtherance of the wel fare of mankind.
