Excerpt from The Science of History and the Hope of Mankind

The present work is based on the Lectures on the Science of History which I delivered to my classes in History at the Bengal National College, Calcutta. My object was to survey, not historically but according to the philosophico-comparative method, the phenomena of civilisation and point out the laws or generalisations that may be deduced out of the facts of universal history.
