The Light Of Reason: Showing The First Step The Nation Should Take Toward A Social Order Based On Justice (1899) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Though it contains a story it is in reality, as indicated by its title, a treatise on the living questions of the day with which we are one and all concerned. I ts particular claim to public favor lies in the fact that it elucidates the manner by which the obstructions llrat lie in the path of progress may be removed, so that man kind may receive the full benefit of the discoveries made, and the knowledge gained by the human intellect. That some of its readers, especially such as are well along in years, will disagree with its conclusions is but to be expected. Youth is progressive. I ts hopes lie in the future, and for that reason it readily approves of innovations which it is convinced are for the public good. On the other hand, old age is conservative. It lives in the past, and is loath to adopt usages other than those to which it has become accustomed. But while the older generation is gradually relinquishing control of affairs, the younger is acceding to power, and will, as it inevitably must, mould the destiny of the nation in the immediate future.
