MODERN NATIONS A HISTORY OF THE PARTICULARIST TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH BY M. G. LOCH LONDON EDWARD ARNOLD 1907 [All rights reserved] TRANSLATOR'S NOTE THE following Prefatory Notice was inserted by the Editors in the original edition : "The present volume is a collection of articles written by Henri de Tourville, which appeared in the review entitled Science Sociale from February 1897 to February 1903, under the title of Histoire de la Formation particulariste. "The Author died a few days after completing the last chapter of his work. "We have not ventured in any way to modify the form in which the work first appeared. Each article forms a chapter in this book. "But whilst we have retained the title which Henri de Tourville himself chose for his work, 'A History of the Particularist Form of Society,' a title intelligent enough in a special review and to readers familiar with his ideas, we thought it necessary to add as a supplementary title, 'The Origin and Development of the Leading Nations of the Present Day,' with the idea that it would be more comprehensible to the public at large and would make the purport and interest of the book more evident." 193329 |
