Rise of Man

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The subject of this volume is the Social History of mankind, studied by aid of the results of science and research which have accumulated so rapidly during the lifetime of the present generation. The customs and beliefs of men form the basis of such inquiry; and the ideas of natural growth, and of guidance, lead us to look forward to the far-off divine event, by showing us the purpose which we can discern in the past, if we study the rise of man from the beginning of history in Asia.
