Chater who has reinforced it with an in resting biographical introduction. Schooled in politics the facts of Henry Adams life Are relatively simple. Born in bos on in 183s and educated at har Vard he was schooled in High politics while serving for 7 years rom 1861 Onward As s Secretary in London then from 1870 to Isis he combined the teaching of history at Harvard Vith the Editorship of the North american review. Next happily married and freed from the Neces Ity of earning a living by his Hare of the Large Fortune of his maternal Grandfather he settled own to live the rest of his life n Washington and become in time to leading Sage and Oracle.

But his Pri nary interest was in the study and writing of history and it his literary output was Small it was f the highest Quality. His history of the admins rations of Jefferson and Madison is still the Standard authority about them and the Rule of phase applied to history s an original and profound stud of the Broad currents of the world s Progress but his Mont St Michael and Charlres and i autobiography the education o Henry Adams Are the two books which made his place in american literature secure. Seeker after truth by temperament a sceptic with a Liberal Outlook but a Lover of he past he was an honest and indefatigable seeker after truth rho strove to find both an answer o the Riddle of life and a remedy or the flaws and confusions of civilization which oppressed him. Fascinated by science he studied biology physics and Pala oncology to discover what justification could be found for his Hopes that science would save the world. But his scientific studies led him to the Mournful conclusion reached Long before the atomic bomb was invented that might increase human Comfort and Lei sure it would intensify the crass materialism which he regarded As the baneful cancer of democracy and prove a disturbing influence the orderly Progress of Man kind to a higher form of civilization. This idea first obsessed him not walk off like a Beetle with the world on its the pessimism of this amazingly accurate forecast of a youth of 24 did not Abate As the years rolled by and in 1901 he was again Voic ing his fears about a general break Down of civilization in a letter to his brother Brooks Adams who wrote civilization and pessimistic View All. We he wrote is that at the rate of increase in Speed and the. Society must break its damned neck in a definite but not Remote time not exceeding 50 years More. This s an arithmetical calculation from Given data As j for example from explosives or.

Stevenson momentum As calculated in last 50 years the present equally remarkable for their accuracy were the prophecies of Adams about the i ranges n the International picture which he foresaw. As far Back As 1862. Writing from London he made for the Benefit of his. Brother Charles. Then an officer in the Federal army Olis forecast i think i can see a thing or two. And one of these things is that our Good Cotin try the United states is left to a career that is positively unlimited except by the Powers of the imagination. And for England there is still greatness and safety it she will draw tier Colo Nies around her and turn her Hegemony into a confederation of British thirty six years later in 1s9s, he offered to is brother.

France must follow Spain into the seclusion of local interests and Germany must merge in Ruji Sia so we can foreseen new centralization of which Russia is one pole and we the other with England Between. Tho Anglo american Alliance is almost inevitable. The idiocy and tomfoolery of the Kaiser Willy have Given an impulse to the Anglo american Busin Ess which seems already beyond control. You know what an Anglo american Alliance Means to Gold bugs and what an Ocean of corruption we shall sail into. Unless the War spreads and. We have some years of violence the economic movement will be rapid and we shall have a social struggle of the gayest kind. The Gold Bug will As usual the anarchists. You will find Europe several stages worse than when you left. The situation seems now to be one simple military police cohesion. Representative government is everywhere suspended or . Alliance inevitable. Here was Henry Adams nearly 50 ago declaring that an Anglo american Alliance was Ine Vitable and in the same letter he bewailed the difficulties of Britain. Hen trivial by comparison with ice present ones and made the sane prescription for their solution hat the United states should take More British imports.

The Only first class pow ers that will Long survive As such Are Russia including Ger and. The United states. England too he says will be. Living on her accumulated fat in ten years. She is losing markets everywhere and they Are being appropriated by the United states and Germany. Hence says Adams England Zeal for our Friendship.
