DAVIES, GEORGE REGINALD. National evolution. (National social science ser.) *75c McClurg 301
20–1609
“This book traces the development of human societies through the stages of primitive culture, Christian civilization and modern capitalism; ends with a consideration of the best basis for national progress. The book is a condensation of social theories, the only original point being ‘an attempt to harmonize the cultural theory of history with the concrete workings of economic law.’ Chapter bibliographies.”—Booklist
“This brief, concise work is on the whole sound and constructive and will be of special value to the reader whose time is limited.” G. S. Dow
