Prof. Blackmar has recently published, for the benefit of the Kansas Reading Circles, a book entitled "The Story of Human Progress." It is a condensed history of civilization in which is recorded the principal steps of human progress.
Part first treats of "The Nature of Civilization," discussing the meaning of the term civilization and the methods of recounting human progress. The second part, "The First Steps of Progress" gives an interesting account of the antiquity of man, his primitive social life, the origin of the languages and the growth of aesthetic ideals. Part third "The Dawn of Civilization" traces early civilization down to the American epoch. The fourth part is given over to "Western Civilization" while the fifth describes "Modern Progress" including that of political liberty and social evolution.
The whole subject is treated as concretely as possible, thus bringing it within the easy comprehension of all and making it interesting as well as instructive.
