Excerpt from The Foundations of Geography in the Twentieth Century
So far as I am able to understand the main aim of Professor Herbertson when he organized the Geographical Association, he justly esteemed that our time has so widely developed all human connexions, so deeply enlarged the discoveries in physiography and the applications of human activity on the planet, that we must try to enlarge also our knowledge and our sense of the natural laws which rule material and spiritual exchanges of activity between Earth and Man; inasmuch as the momentary result of the progress of our material civilization is an unprecedented state of struggle between the most prominent fractions of mankind.
In a period of growing occasions of closer connexions and solidarity between the greater part of the children of the Planet, I remember that some of these children have lost for a time the feeling and the possibility of fraternity. If so, it is a reason to seek what may be the deeper causes of that frightful misunderstanding.
