About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

At the end we find we have undergone a revolution; but it has been by the gradual and, in one sense, supportable, process of reform. But, while this graduality of change has spared us the shock, which is caused by a sudden wrench, that reverses and overturns in an instant the ordered schemes of our lives, our professional thought and methods, it has, on the other hand, entailed a constant, severe, and wearying strain of watchfulness and suspense, which, in the long run tells, perhaps, as injuriously upon the self-possession and the judgment....
