V. The idea of God.
VI. The idea of the Spirit—of the Unseen and Intangible.
VII. The practical idea of invoking great men.
VIII. The religious idea of love and comradeship.
Note.—The present volume is the first of a series which had their beginnings in some articles in the Atlantic a few years ago, answering or trying to answer the question, “Can a machine age have a soul?” Perhaps it is only fair to the present conception, as it stands, to suggest that it is an overture, and that the various phases and implications of machinery—the general bearing of machinery in our modern life, upon democracy, and upon the humanities and the arts, are being considered in a series of three volumes called:
I. The Voice of the Machines.
II. Machines and Millionaires.
III. Machines and Crowds.
