Excerpt from The Rise of Man
The subject of this volume is the Social History of mankind, studied by aid of the results of science and research which have accumulated so rapidly during the lifetime of the present generation. The customs and beliefs of men form the basis of such inquiry; and the ideas of natural growth, and of guidance, lead us to look forward to the "far-off divine event," by showing us the purpose which we can discern in the past, if we study the rise of man from the beginning of history in Asia.
