Excerpt from The Story of Human Progress: A Brief History of Civilization

The earnest demand for a closer study of social progress and societary relations is the reason for writing this book. To attempt to understand present conditions, or to advocate social reforms without an adequate conception of the elements of progress, or a fair knowledge of the road over which man has traveled to reach his present position, is to lead to wrong conclusions. The present volume is an elementary treatise on the history of civilization, especially designed for those who desire a brief survey of the whole field. Such a brief survey of the progress of man must, of necessity, refrain from any attempt to recount the history of the tribes, nations, or races to which it refers, but rather must dwell upon the philosophy of civilization and the judgments of history. Yet, within this little volume are recorded all of the principal steps of human progress and a presentation of the best results of the study of philosophy and history. In order not to appear too philosophical for the purpose of the book, the history of progress is approached, so far as it may be, from the concrete side.

Every branch of knowledge has its own particular charms, but the story of mans progress from a state of savagery to that of culture and learning engages the attention and arouses sympathetic interest like no other.
