Nothing is more essential in our attempt to escape from the bondage ofconsecrated ideas than to get a vivid notion of human achievement inits proper historical perspective. In order to do this let us imaginethe whole gradual and laborious attainments of mankind compressed intothe compass of a single lifetime.
