## Summary

permanent among the lower animals, 17, 18; perhaps it may become less troublesome among men, 18, 19; its action in the rise and fall of civilizations, 22, 23; its rule in civil life is inferior to Nature’s beautiful order in her cellular commonwealths, 19, 25, 40-3; yet sentimentalists believe in the illusion called peace and do infinite harm by their canting hostility to national defence, 33, 34, 35, 351, 360-1; see also the last chapter on the evolution of unfortified bridges.
