Excerpt from Florence, Past and PresentWhat have we then? Surely it was thus that men worked stones and used them in the prehistoric past. The particular present might be explained were we free to suppose that insanity had here discovered and developed inherited brain impres sions connecting with his countless ancestors of the Stone Age the late scion of one of the most ultra civilised European stocks.To me at any rate this story, which I cannot but believe, has been a revelation of the present as a possible vehicle of the remotest past. As such it not only illustrates the title I have chosen for this book, but has been in a very real way a determinant of my thought in producing it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
