PREFACE
This volume, like its two predecessors, arises from a course of lecturesdelivered at a Summer School at Woodbrooke, near Birmingham, in August,1919. The first, in 1915, dealt with 'The Unity of Western Civilization'generally, the second, in 1916, with 'Progress'. In this book an attempthas been made to trace the same ideas in the last period of Europeanhistory, broadly speaking since 1870.
It was felt at the conclusion of the course that the point of view wasso enlightening and offered so many opportunities of useful furtherstudy that it should, if possible, be resumed in future years. A largenumber of subjects were suggested—'The Relations of East and West,''The Duty of Advanced to Backward Peoples,' 'The Rôle of Science inCivilization,' &c.—all containing the same elements of 'progress inunity' which have inspired the previous volumes. It was thought thatpossibly for the next session 'World Reconstructions Past and Present'might be most appropriate.
If any reader feels moved by interest or sympathy with the general ideato send suggestions, either as to possible places of meeting, or topicsfor treatment or any other kindred matter, they would be welcomed eitherby the Editor or by Edwin Gilbert, Woodbrooke, Selly Oak, Birmingham.
