Excerpt from The World's History and Its Makers, Vol. 10 W e are benefited by thousands of practical applications of the discoveries of wise and patient men, but do not pause to consider the wonder of it all, and how new a power science is in the world. It is well-nigh impossible to realize the state of science one hundred years ago. All was inchoate. Great truths, germs of much that'has been developed Since, had been discovered and were startling the world by their novelty and their simplicity. But they stood apart, nor did man dream of science as a single rounded and connected whole. When we regard the astonishing structure that has been built since then, the materials for which have been hewn in so many forests and quarried from so many mines, it seems incredible that a single century can have witnessed so many brilliant achievements.

Excerpt from The World's History and Its Makers, Vol. 4 It is the purpose of this volume to sketch briefly the lives and doctrines of those men who have been most eminent in that field of thought which is described generally by the word philosophy. There is some difficulty, when the subject is treated historically, in separating philosophy from science on the one hand, and from theology on the other. For in the early growth and development of human knowledge these three instruments of progress are so intertwined and interdependent, have such closely related causal connections, and are made one, at least functionally, by next which cannot be severed without fatality to all, that we arc perforce required to take account of all when examining each. But while this is without doubt true, it is by no means impossible to follow the stream of speculative thought through the centuries, recognizing its scientific aspects when such aspects are present and not disregarding its theological significance when it seems to disappear in theology. Inasmuch as these sketches shall be biographical mainly, no attempt will be made at an exposition of doctrines in any manner adequate for the purposes of a history of philosophy. That field has been well tilled, if not too well tilled already. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The World's History and Its Makers, Vol. 10 In the one hundred years now drawing to a close the world has made a greater advance in science and the arts than in all the preceding ages. The human mind reels when it tries to grasp the stupendous achievements of the Nineteenth Century, in every branch of discovery and invention. Because of their love of pure knowledge, men of gigantic intellect have sought out the mighty secrets of the universe and have raised to the sky a temple to science on ground upon which stood, a century ago, only scattered and isolated stones. Close behind the worshipers of knowledge have followed the magicians of to-day; chemists, engineers and electricians. At their command the spirits of air, water, earth and fire have been made to do man's every bidding. They propel his steamships, railway cars and mighty engines; they make his garments; they build his houses; they illuminate his cities; they harvest his crops. For him they make ice in the tropics or grow oranges amid snow. For him they fan a heated atmosphere into cooling breezes or banish icy winds. They flash his news around the globe; they carry the sound of his voice for thousands of miles, or preserve it after he is dead. Verily the fairies and genii of old did not so much for Solomon in all his glory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
