Excerpt from Master-Clues in World-HistoryMr. J. M. Robertson, Ratzel and his equally de voted disciple, Miss Semple, whose work, In¿uencesof Geographic Environment, is one of the most suggestive books ever published in this con nection. But, after having mastered all the best authorities, it still appeared to the present writer that a great deal in connection with the larger aspects of the human movement 1 either remained unexplained or was erroneously presented. Fail ing light or leading in any authoritative quarter, he had perforce to seek out explanations for him self. For years he tried to work out master clues in all the directions where these still seemed desirable, and in the long run, after following up many false scents, he hit upon what seemed to be the guiding ideas of which he was in search. Not content with testing their validity in every way known to him, the author submitted his views to several scholars of repute. As they are of opinion that the ideas outlined stand for a substantially novel cc-ordination in historical dynamics, it has been thought well to submit the views to public criticism. It is the author's hope that the work (which has been written in the most condensed form possible) may throw some fresh light on the grander aspects of history, which, despite all that has been written up to this point, quite apparently still stand in need of illumination.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
