Sobre este artículo

New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1898. Later edition. Original blindstamped publisher's cloth, author and title in gilt on the spine. An excellent copy. Later edition of this work, first published in London in 1872, and issued here as the second volume in the International Scientific Series of noteworthy science-related volumes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Applying Darwinian ideas to human civilization and government, Bagehot examines the evolution of nation-making from our earliest days where military strength was key, up through "the age of discussion." According to a review written by Alfred Russel Wallace in Nature, Bagehot provides a "variety of topics connected with the progress of societies and nations, and the development of their distinctive peculiarities; and his book shows an abundance of ingenious and original thought." The book "is a very remarkable illustration of the dread of eagerness inspired by the doubts of a reflective mind. The eager nations, he held, had had their day. The time for deliberating, hesitating and slowly resolving nations, had arrived" (DNB, I, pp. 868-869).

Bagehot (1826-1877) was a brilliant journalist and essayist who founded the National Review and later became editor of The Economist. He had a knack for witty criticisms and wrote extensively on politics and economics throughout his career.
