Thou Wonder World, yet undefined, unformed--neither do I define thee; How can I pierce the unpenetrable blank of the future? I feel thy ominous greatness, evil as well as good; I watch thee, advancing, absorbing the present, transcending the past; I see thy light lighting and thy shadow shadowing, as if the entire globe; But I do not undertake to define thee--hardly to comprehend thee; I but thee name--thee prophesy--as now! lUngDom of 9?an By E.

And yet at this moment the mechanical difficulties, the want of assurance and of exact knowledge, which necessarily prevented Bacon's schemes from taking practical shape, have been removed. The will to possess this vast territory is alone wanting. The weariness which is so largely expressed today in regard to human effort is greatly due to the fact that we have exhausted old sources of inspiration, and have not yet learned to believe in the new.

Jack London said "no person, no matter how soft and secluded his own life has been, can read this holy book and not be aware that the world is filled with a vast mass of unfairness, cruelty, and suffering. He will find that it has been observed, during all the ages, by the thinkers, the seers, the poets and the philosophers." This book collects bits of their writings and lets you travel through history.
The earlier edition was edited by Sinclair the later edition was updated by Edward Sagarin and Albert Teichner and includes additional selections from post 1920 writings.
