"The term 'social' has been interpreted by Professor Ogg to comprise anything which bears upon the status and opportunity of the average man. There is not one country in Europe which in the past four or five generations has not progressed considerably along this line and Professor Ogg's purpose has been to explain the origin and character of some of the social changes which have taken place. The ground which he covers is the century and a quarter which has elapsed since the uprising of 1789 in France. Professor Ogg has done a very great and much needed service to the public in thus bringing into small and easily getable form so much information about the antecedents of our present social conditions and tendencies. All of it is of the sort that ought to be familiar to whoever presumes to have opinions upon economic questions, and particularly to all who would direct or influence the impressionable public. This volume should be in the hands of all who would like to build for their opinions some foundation more solid than prejudice and emotion."—New York Times.
