Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The State and the Nation This book is an expansion of a little work contributed nearly twenty years ago to the Temple Primer series, under the title A Short History of Politics, which has for some time been out of print. Of its imperfections no one can be more painfully conscious than the writer. But he ventures to think that the unexpected welcome given to the Primer volume shows that there is a real demand for a popular statement, in simple terms, of the main lines of social and political evolution, and that even the dangers necessarily attendant upon broad and general statements ought not to prohibit an honest attempt to satisfy this reasonable demand. The study of social and political problems (which are now seen to be inseparably intermingled) is no longer a matter exclusively for experts; though the work of the expert is now more important than ever before. And it is one of the most hopeful signs of the times, that many thousands of earnest men and women, now endowed with political power, are taking a deep and serious interest in such problems. Many of these students have little leisure for large books, and little familiarity with technical language. But they have a keen desire to know something of the way in which society assumed its present complex character; for in that knowledge they believe to lie the key to the solution of many problems of urgent practical importance.
