Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Civilisation in Some of Its Economic Aspects Some excuse seems to be needed for the issue of another elementary treatise on Political Economy; it may suffice to say that the present manual is primarily intended to assist such students of industrial history as desire to have some acquaintance with the modern science; but I venture to hope it may also prove to be a convenient introduction to the subject for the use of the general reader. The volume is complete in itself; but it supplements and is supplemented by two works in which I have had a share. In the Outlines q/englzslz Industrial History (cambridge Historical Series) an attempt has been made to Show how our present industrial system in this country has come into being; in the present volume I have endeavoured to describe how that system works. I hope in dealing with the History of Western Civilisation in forthcoming volumes of the Cambridge Historical Series to enter on some topics of great importance, such as taxation, which are not treated in this little book, and to trace the causes of the rise and of the decay of nations. The field which remains, even when so much cognate matter is relegated to other volumes, is large; it may be well to indicate the fashion in which I have endeavoured to cover the ground. The first part of this treatise is devoted to a general delineation of M odem Civilisation; I have attempted to bring -out the importance of material prosperity as an element in our social life, and to call attention to the special features which distinguish modern civilisation from that of ancient times. What Carlyle called the cash nexus is the most prominent characteristic; and the examination of this particular trait involves a brief consideration of the nature of money, and the part it plays as an instrument of competition. The pursuit of material wealth, as it is carried on in existing society, is more closely considered in the second and third parts. An attempt is made to examine the interplay of forces actually at work; and to Show the considerations which determine traders as to the terms on which they do business. Beginning with the simplest, if infrequent case, of the man who is engaged in selling articles of which he has a strict monopoly, we pass in turn to more complicated transactions, such as those of foreign trade, and the difficult questions which arise in the money relations of Labourers, Capitalists and Landlords.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on Western Civilization: In Its Economic Aspects (Mediaeval and Modern Times) The very name by which we speak Of this new social system calls attention to its Christianity as the trait which distinguishes it most clearly from the civilisation Of the ancient world. The Roman Empire had been created by military prowess; the military organisation, with the military roads which connected its various provinces, was the efl'ective ele ment by which it was maintained. Christendom on the contrary, under its spiritual head the Pope, expended its material energies in the raising Of magnificent churches and the endowing Of religious houses; it devoted its resources to aggressive struggles with the infidel. Religious aspirations and motives found expression in the magnificent buildings Of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; these ideas and sentiments permeated all social institutions; though they lie on the sur face they were not merely superficial. War was practically unintermittent in the early middle ages, but it was rarely a combining force; and however much the swords Of the Franks may have contributed to the rise Of the papacy, the secret of its power lay far deeper. It was not by military force, but by religious authority, that the foundations of civilised society were laid anew in the dark ages; in SO far as Old institutions reappear in mediaeval Christendom, they were for the most part modified or remodelled under religious influence.

Download or read book Outlines of Medieval History Classic Reprint written by C. W. Previte Orton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Medieval History In writing an outline of European history, much of the labour of the writer must be employed in brevity of statement and in rigorous selection of matter, in omissions of what is interesting in itself and valuable for the science of humanity. In the choice of events to narrate I have been guided by their far-off results, rather than by their immediate eclat in their own time, and have tried to indicate how in the Middle Ages were accomplished the growth of modern man and the life and attitude to life of modern times. A sketch, too, must of necessity be sketchy, on the one side positive and over-clear where discreet shadows should be infused in a larger picture, on the other summary where the complexities of character or institution deserve a minuter etching. I trust, however, that the story has not wholly lost the interest of its theme, of the human strivings and the wild but purposeful convulsions by which modern Europe was made. The maps have been designed to illustrate, first, as in 2, 3, 4 and 7, the main political features of the period, and secondly, as in i, 2, 4 and 6, the factors in civilization and nationality which had so great a share in forming its history. By kind permission of the Syndics of the University Press and of Archdeacon Cunningham, Map 6, Trade-routes in the XIV Century, is taken from Western Civilisation in its economic aspects (Mediaeval and Modern Times).
