  National Character A Thanksgiving Discourse Delivered November 15th, 1855, in the Franklin Street Presbyterian Church

summary:
  The _word_ nation signifies a body of men descended from the same progenitor,--those having community of birth. When shall Christian nations become capable of a Christian transaction?

  Nationality and Race from an Anthropologist's Point of View Being the Robert Boyle lecture delivered before the Oxford university junior scientific club on November 17, 1919

summary:
  Long before the Portuguese had turned the Cape of Good Hope towards the end of the sixteenth century, this land was occupied by a confusion of contending tribal peoples belonging to at least three well-differentiated human stocks. As we pass northwards along the African continent, over a welter of tribal peoples, we need merely note the cry for national recognition which ascends to us from the lower valley of the Nile.

  So we find that from the beginning of history men had to choose between fighting with one another and combining, between serving their own interest or the common interest of all. But fortunately for man the easiest path is not his truest path.

  You want the tiger's nature, but not the tiger; that is to say, you would make India English, and when it becomes English, it will be called not Hindustan but Englistan. 4.= How India can be Free India has no need to take the sword in order to be free: She has a much more powerful weapon ready to her hand.

  Physics and Politics, or, Thoughts on the application of the principles of "natural selection" and "inheritance" to political society

summary:
  Probably if we had historic records of the ante-historic ages--if some superhuman power had set down the thoughts and actions of men ages before they could set them down for themselves--we should know that this first step in civilisation was the hardest step. And much more is it difficult to fancy the unstable minds of such men as neither knew nature, which is the clock-work of material civilisation, nor possessed a polity, which is a kind of clock-work to moral civilisation.

summary:
  Yet, in spite of these aspirations, great wars have come to England, not once, but at least three times, since these words were spoken, and armaments are immeasurably larger than ever before. Prince BÃ¼low ignores the fact that production for the home market will be hampered by the possible non-arrival of foreign raw materials in war time; yet Germany imported raw cotton to the value of over Â£29,000,000 in 1913.
