The Progressive Ages, or the Triumphs of Science, and Treasures of Nature, History and Literature by H. L. Harvey PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from The Progressive Ages, or the Triumphs of Science, and Treasures of Nature, History and Literature It seems very natural for us, in this age of the world, to overestimate the value of man's acquirements, knowledge and progress in the arts and sciences and in the hidden secrets of nature. This age is so vastly superior to former ages in advantages, that many seem to think that man has reached his highest perfection of knowledge. But this cannot be true, for something must yet remain to learn, no matter what the extent of his knowledge. We do live, truly, in an enlightened age. For six thousand years man has existed on the earth, and has continued to progress, so that we have before us the inventions and discoveries of preceding ages; and on this foundation our knowledge is built. But have the great discoveries all been made? And is there no room for further progress? If we believe those who are capable of knowing, we shall find that in their opinion we are just entering the great age of discoveries, and that man's knowledge, compared with what remains to be known, is infinitely small.
