AUTHOR'S NOTE

“SINCE no two philosophers and no two men of science use terms in precisely the same sense, I feel that it is not greatly laid upon me to offer either explanation or apologies for the simplicity of the language with which I have ventured to trespass on their two spheres.

Nor does it pressingly seem to me a bounden duty that I should adopt a placatory pose on the score of my book's brevity, since length, too often the mere stammer of obscurity, is only excusable in the original philosopher.

My modest book, the first word in a trilogy, does but attempt to gather up and present in a companionable summary the discoveries and speculations of those learned men so far in advance of the general host that they have almost forgotten the Doric of humanity. Futurism, which is rebellion against dulness, pomposity, and the groove, may perhaps in its thrust for reality give us some day a race of philosophers so lucid and so charming that they will actually by their own speech help the multitude of mankind to think less untruthfully and to behave less mis-takenly. In the meantime, one who has been a happy and attentive guest of the philosophers may be allowed his gossip and his table-talk in the homes of the simple.”
