Synopsis
Excerpt from A Review of the Efforts and Progress of Nations: During the Last Twenty-Five Years The name of the author of the following essay, is alone sufficient to recommend it to the American public. Were it anonymously published, it would still sufficiently recommend itself; for it is impossible after perusing it, not to perceive that it is the production of a man of no ordinary genius, who is thoroughly master of his subjects The mind and the pen of Sismondi discover themselves in every line of this vivid picture of the recent progress and advancement of mankind. It is a moral panorama of the whole world, reduced to the compass of a few pages. It is a panorama of time as well as of space it spreads out before the reader the first quarter of a new century which announced itself as pregnant with the most important events, and which has fulfilled its promise. Well may we say with the great man who ushered it into the world, "that the nineteenth century is not like any of those that preceded it." The French revolution had held up to mankind the delusive hope of universal and unbounded freedom which, like Mahomet's religion, was to be established and spread abroad by scenes of devastation, and by means destructive of its object.

Product Description
Excerpt from A Review of the Efforts and Progress of Nations: During the Last Twenty-Five Years
Such is the cheering and interesting picture which Mr. Sismondi offers to the view of his European read ers. I have thought that it would not be less so to Americans; particularly as the United States occupy in it a distinguished place, and are delineated there by no unfriendly hand.

A Review of the Efforts and Progress of Nations (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of public opinion as a political force that has influenced the world in profound ways over the last two centuries. Using the advent of the printing press as the starting point, the author traces the history of the free press and its central role in major events such as the Reformation, the American Revolution, and the rise and fall of communism. The author also looks at how public opinion has been shaped by the retrograde systems of the dayâ"monarchies, religious extremism, and autocratic governments. The book details specific examples of censorship and oppression, and shows how the determination of the people to access information and ideas has brought about great social, economic, and political change over the centuries. It concludes by discussing the future of public opinion, advocating that it is essential to continue to protect free speech in order to ensure the progress of humanity.
