Voltaire and Rousseau were fore- most spirits of that period which began to see with nobler vision the larger things that opened before humanity. It was Rousseau who, no matter what we say of his strange life, said, "O men be humane! It is your first duty. What wisdom can there be for you without humanity?" 1 "From the great Revolution of 1789, " says Henry S. Salt, "dates the period when the world- wide spirit of humanitarianism, which had hitherto been felt by but one man in a million the the...sis of the philosopher or the vision of the poet began to disclose itself, gradually and dimly at first, as an essential feature of democracy. " 2 Leaving untouched the doctrine of Des- cartes which ranked the lower animals as mere automata, without sensibility or capacity for pain a teaching which un- doubtedly had much to do with retard- ing the development in many quarters 1 For Rousseau's fondness for animals see his "Second Dialogue. " Whether we translate these words "O men be humane, " or "O men be human, " it matters not for the thought.
