To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mass probably are little more scientific than they were two thousand years ago. " Professor Soddy, Science and Life, p. 86. 22 MR. WELLS AS HISTORIAN conditions of the time, but it was also due in part to the appearance of some very unusual men. It was not a general movement ; it was the movement of a small group of people exceptionally placed and gifted " (pp. 214-5). But it is untrue that this intellectual activity of Greece was due to a sudden outburst or began in the age of Pericles or ...was confined to Athens (nor did it end with the fifth century Plato, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Praxi- teles, Lysippus are of the fourth) ; and Mr. Wells offers no proof that " Pericles was discordant with the normal life of his time and city. " His facts are not facts. To take the first point Greek art, philosophy, science and literature were flourishing long before Pericles and in many cities besides Athens ; philosophy and science in the sixth and most of the fifth centuries were almost confined to Greek Asia Minor and Greek Italy ; painting and sculpture were as prominent in the Peloponnese, poetry in Boeotia and the islands of the Aegean, as in Athens.
