To tell the world about the world. That, the world might suspect, must presumably be the purpose of such a book as this, on such a subject. The very suspicion of it might be enough to repel the serious reader, even if he himself would make no claim to have known it all before. To those with sufficient understanding already of the universal social complex this introductory essay (and that is all it is) can have little to offer. But among the newer, still inquiring, generation there may perhaps be those who can find in it some food for timely thought. It is for them that, with a blend of arrogance and apprehension, its message is meant.
