Over the years, humans have managed to incorporate nearly every element, light and weighty, common and obscure, into our daily lives.

It is a very great mistake, and a very common one, even for well-read persons, to adopt the idea that the progress of the human race in the science of government, in the arts of civilization and refinement, and in the establishment of morality and religion, has been constantly and steadily towards improvement and perfection.
