"It may save misunderstanding if a word or so be said here of the aim and scope of this book. It is written in relation to a previous work, 'Anticipations,' and together with that and a small pamphlet, 'The Discovery of the Future,' presents a general theory of social development and of social and political conduct ... These papers were first published in the 'Fortnightly Review' and in the American 'Cosmopolitan' ..."--Preface.
