Benjsmln Kldd's new work, "principles
of Western C'vllliatlon," though complete
In Itself, Is described sa th first volume of
a system of evolutionary philosophy. Tha
mala thesis of th book embodies a funda
mental conception, namely, th shifting of
th c;nter of significance In the modern
evolutionary hypothesis out of th present
Into th future. Tbe future I always of
mor Importance than th present. Th
majority In who loterett natural selec
tion Is of necessity continually discriminat
ing I alwsys In th future. It la not a
th arly Darwinian conceived, the quali
ties and cause contributing to a mere free
fight In th present, but those by which th
Interests In the pressnt bav been most
efficiently subordinated to tbose in th fu
ture, that have controlled th larger and
deeper meaning of th evolutionary process
throughout life. This Is the conception
which I applied with remarkable reault to
th historical process In western civiliza
tion. Th principles involved are carried
down through western history Into the
modern world process and Into the midst
of th current phenomena of the economic
situation and ot national and International
politics with striking effect. Subsequent
volume In this series will be awaited with
no little Intereat Th Macmlllen company,
