Abstract: Progress * will perhaps, with me, have been surprised at the modernity of that conception.He shows how, in antiquity, the idea was never a dominant one, and further that the adumbrations made of it all lacked some element without which it cannot be styled prog- ress in the sense in which that word is used to-day.Not indeed till the late Renaissance can we say that the idea of Progress became in any real sense incorporated with the common thought of Western civilization.•X 'c^r'^'.
