SOCIAL EVOLUTION, by Benjamin Kidd
New edition revised, with additions
The Mcmillan Company:
Everybody will welcome a new edition
of this remarkable book, one of the great
books which the new interest in social
questions has brought out, first published
in 1894
We have not only reviewed this volume
once, but have spoken of it incidentally in
connection with other reviews of works
on sociology. Few books have attracted
the attention which has been accorded
this one, for no other reason than because
it was launched when the time was ripe
for it. There has been a wonderful growth
in democracy these last few years, which
in its effect upon what may be called west
ern colonization has marked an epoch in
the worlds history. AS our author says
in his preface, 1.-THE whole plan of life is,
in short, being slowly revealed to us in
new light, and we are beginning to per-
ceive that it presents single majestic
unity, throughout every part of which the
conditions of law and orderly progress
reign supreme" What to many has SEEM
ed confusion occasioned by the moving of
old landmarks, has really been the rebuild
ing Of the foundations of human thought.
1t is true there have been differences and
startling new doctrines, but they have
not wrought mischief, but things that en-
dure.
The refrain of the volume is that claim
that things are growing better. and this
is strikingly set forth in the chapters on
western Colonization" as has been said
above. This civilization shows. our author
thinks, that strong and saving power has
been developed above anv former period
In word, the people are alive to the best
work attainable. Democracy has arrived
and will assume sway. Not license. nor
destruction, not waste: but conservatism
and higher purpose. We append the
closing paragraphs of the volume. as the
best expression of the hope of the author:
"Those who think that he Democracy is
about to bring chaos instead ofIorder. do
