Excerpt from The Unity of Western Civilization Essays Arranged and Edited The following essays are the substance of a course of lectures delivered at a Summer School at the Woodbrooke Settlement, near Birmingham, in August 1915. The general purpose of the course will be apparent from the essays them selves. No forced or mechanical uniformity of view was aimed at. The writers will be found, very naturally and properly, to differ in detail and in the stress they lay on different aspects of the case. But they agree in thinking that while our country's cause and the cause of our Allies is just and necessary and must be prosecuted with the utmost vigour, it is not inopportune to re¿ect on those common and ineradicable elements in the civilization of the West which tend to form a real commonwealth of nations and will survive even the most shattering of con¿icts. That we on the Allied side stand fundamentally for this ideal is one of our most valuable assets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
