Abstract

NO one having reached maturity in the reign of Queen Victoria and having survived into our present epoch can be expected to feel altogether at home. In those days, distant not so much in time as in atmosphere, although everyone believed in inevitable progress, “there was a wide-spread feeling that nothing more of primary importance was ever likely to happen”. It was precisely because of this static condition of things that the public so eagerly took to Mr. Wells's futuristic romances.
