Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Review of Reviews for Australasia: August 12, 1914
This month we are writing no Pro gress, for th-creis no progress to chronicle. Instead, we see the whole of Europe in ?aming war, reverberating to the tramp of armed millions, shaken andrent by the diapaison of the guns. Despite the immense advance of social progress, international amenities, and the growth of cosmopolitanism, the nations have slipped back again, and are settling their differences by bar barous methods, and the legalised murder of hundreds of thousands of men. The result we cannot know, but there is only the sure certainty. That millions of men, women and children must suffer terrible hardship, that no matter what the outcome the clock of progress, of scientific research, of human advancement, will be put back many §ears. Whatever happens, the map of Europe will again be radically altered.
