“What is to be the future of the human race? What are the great obstacles in the way of progress? What are the best means of surmounting these obstacles? Such, in rough statement, are some of the problems which are more or less present to Mr. Greg’s mind; and although he does not pretend to discuss them fully, he makes a great many observations about them, always expressed in a graceful style, frequently eloquent, and occasionally putting old subjects in a new light, and recording a large amount of reading and study.”—Saturday Review.

Translated from the Latin by William Hale White.
“Mr. White only lays claim to accuracy, the Euclidian form of the work giving but small scope for literary finish. We have carefully examined a number of passages with the original, and have in every case found the sense correctly given in fairly readable English. For the purposes of study it may in most cases replace the original; more Mr. White could not claim or desire.”—Athenæum.
