In a discussion of the eternally perplexing problem of Progress, it presents rather the difficulties in the way of answering the question,--"Has mankind on the whole advanced?"--than any actual definition or answer. Mr. Bryce points out that material progress, which is obvious and easy to determine, by no means involves intellectual and moral progress.
