Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, 1911, Vol. 50: Held at Philadelphia for Promoting Useful Knowledge Preparation of a monograph on any subject which interests stu dents ih many lands requires thorough study of the literature as a preparatory step. But that literature has grown to such preportions that one often becomes discouraged and is burdened with the fear that life will be spent in making ready and that the grave will have been reached before the monograph has been begun. Yet such pre liminary research is not without compensation, for one discovers that his own period is not so far in advance of days gone by as he had supposed; that his contemporaries. With all their advantages, have done little more, in many instances. Than to place newer and finer clothing on the generalizations of earlier students who had worked within narrower areas.
