Abstract
AT a time when Western civilization seems to be in danger of self-immolation, and in the East the greatest of Empires has yet to show whether it has lost that power of resilience, which lias been its most striking characteristic in the history of a civilization extending over a period reckoned not in centuries, but in millennia, some of us may well turn to the past for a sign which will act as a guide to the underlying laws which govern the rise and decadence of peoples. It is this that justifies a reference, belated though it may seem, to a Friday Evening Discourse at the Royal Institution on “The Collapse of Ancient Civilizations”, delivered by Mr. Stanley Casson, on February 24.
