"With regards, John E. Macy" on the front free end paper. No Worldcat listing. The war in Europe is the backdrop for this intricate discussion of the evolution of religion, social order, and law. "Curious it is that after ten thousand years of social experimentation, the would would be divided to the point of hideous warfare by two opposing theories of national growth.Strange it would be then, if, in the midst of this rude awakening, no careful effort should be made to discern, in the thousands of years of forming and reforming, of such ideals, some rationale of progress, some actual formula of social evolution, and and thereby appraise the present and perhaps shape the future." The author warns of impending totalitarianism in the United States. John Edward Macy, born 1877 in Cleveland, O.; graduated summa cum laude of the Boston University School of Law in 1901, began the practice of law in Boston that same year, and soon began teaching at his alma mater. He is listed as a Professor of Law, Boston University Yearbook (1912-13), and taught for many years in that institution. - see Who s Who in New England (1916). N° de ref. del artículo 548
