Excerpt from Reforms Their Difficulties and PossibilitiesPerhaps something like an apology is due for attacking so many of the "Reforms." Any one reform, it may be thought, is quite enough for one mind to master, but there is no attempt made here at mastery. The object has been to present the subjects from a new point of view, - that of conflict in the constitution of things, - a point of view from which it is not the habit now, and has never been, consciously to contemplate the perplexing problems of life. The statement is made for the freshness and suggestion there may be in it, and the author hopes that herein may be found some justification of the attempt.The particular statements of chapters and sections do not all speak from the same time but it is believed that there is nothing in this that will at all seriously embarrass the reader.It may be thought that more should have been said of the possibilities of Reform. I could not say more on this point than has here been said, without pretending to wisdom which I am perfectly conscious I do not possess. I believe that there is need of some such presentation of the subjects, as an incentive mainly to a careful and judicious treatment of the great practical questions of the day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
