Sinopse

After turning over tens of thousands of leaves in Latin, French, Italian, German, English, Spanish and Dutch print, one is left with an accumulation of observed phenomena - religious, cultural, literary, psychological - which the mind is forced to coordinate into some sort of general conclusions. Asáthe authoráhas stated in some of the pages which follow this preface,áThe author wasáprofoundly averse to formulating âÇÖphilosophies of historyâÇÖ, and thougháhe felt impelled to put in order the impression whihc much reading and pondering have left witháhim,áthe authorádid not pretend to link these impressions into any theory of evolution. There are as many âÇÖifsâÇÖ in history as âÇÖthereforesâÇÖ. The phenomena are always interesting, often contradictory, like the strands of thought and behaviour in an individual human being.áThe authorásets downáhis conclusions for what they are worth - though perhaps, as the Preacher remarks, âÇÖof making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the fleshâÇÖ. But the sixteenth century was a wonderful time.
