Excerpt from The Progressive Life and Its Requirements: Or the Beneficence of Nature's Laws
The subject matter of this book is treated with special reference to clearness and forcefulness in presenting the facts with which we purpose to impress the reader. It is not written for entertainment: and we have tried to handle it in such a way that he who begins it for pastime will continue it because he finds that which is of practical value to his own life.
We wish the book to be instructive, and therefore have not hesitated to say the same thing in many ways, and to repeat whenever we have found it necessary to accentuate a point. We hope that all the salient facts have been shown from a sufficient number of viewpoints to free them from all doubt as to their exact meaning and application, and that each fact thus presented will leave an indelible impression on the mind of the reader. If we have succeeded in doing these things we are content, even though we have approached redundancy to further this end. We have, so far as possible, constructed each sentence to contain an essential statement relative to some vital fact, and have taken the liberty to address the reader in the second person with the purpose of still further making a mental impact that he will be unable to forget.
