Russia In Revolution (1905)

ℹ️ "We have watched the early stages, and are about to witness the culmination, of a national movement that will probably loom as large in after history as do those which resulted in the establishment of the French Republic and the United States of America. Writing in mid-crisis (for the mind will not wait while events reach a complete development), of a subject so large and in some aspects so strange, one cannot hope to have attained perfect accuracy of detail or perspective. If rapidly written, however, this sketch of the causes, character, and course of the Russian Revolution represents a good many years of observation and study. Moreover, while much space has been given to a recital of personal experiences illustrating the quality of Russian manhood, the heroism of the revolutionary leaders, and the tragic nature of the struggle for freedom, it is hoped that these narratives will not obscure the fundamental argument that the Revolution is no mere clash of personalities, but is essentially the fulfilment of an irresistible economic process. Thus I have sought to show, in the first place, that the historic autocracy has degenerated during the last two reigns into a lawless and incapable oligarchy ; and, then, that the oligarchy is being undermined by the very economic forces which it brought into existence for its own enrichment. In this part of the book I have been chiefly indebted to Russian and British official publications." (Preface)

The Industrial History Of Modern England (1914)

ℹ️ "THE purpose of this volume is to outline the facts and to interpret the spirit of the economic history ; of Great Britain in the last hundred and fifty years. The writer believed it to be a useful task to focus within such limits as these a narrative of the social transformation through which the mother- country of industrialism has passed since the a invention of the steam-engine; and, from this, he was led on to an attempt to characterise the period, and the main current of thought which the play of economic forces has provoked."
