Excerpt from Politics History, Vol. 4There is no unkindness, and there is useful truth, especially under popular governments, in pressing people to realise the whole bearings of the commonplace that time and mutations of political atmosphere are incessantly attaching a different significance to the same ideas and the same words. We are so apt to go on with our manful battles as if the ¿ags and banners and vehement catchwords all stood for old causes. This is only one side of all the changing aspects of the time. I ventured to speak of narrowness of vision. The vision would indeed be narrow, that overlooked the reaction on our own affairs of circumstances outside - the new map of Europe, the shifting balances of fighting strength, Hague tribunals, tariffs, the Panama Canal, strange currents racing in full blast through the rolling worlds of white men, black men, brown men, yellow men.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
