Excerpt from Modern Man and His Forerunners: A Short Study of the Human Species Living and Extinct

N offering this book at the present time it is per I haps advisable to say that it has not been inspired by recent events. I had had the project in mind for more than fifteen years and the accumulated notes began to take their present form in the summer of 1912. When war broke out at the beginning of August 1914 the much-revised manuscript of the first six chapters had already been typed. The seventh chapter was written and the book finished during the next seven weeks on the lines originally laid down. The typescript was then laid aside for fifteen months. Revising it, after this interval, I have not avoided reference to recent events; but I have made no em deavour to rewrite the book as a 'war-book.'
