By this rapid and vast multiplication of the commodities and conveniences of existence, the general standard of comfort has been raised, the ravages of pestilence and famine have been checked, and the natural obstacles, which time and space offer to mutual intercourse, have been reduced in a manner, and to an extent, unknown to former ages. The diminution or removal of local ignorance and prejudice, the creation of common interests among the most widely separated peoples, and the strengthening of the forces of the organisation of the commonwealth against those of political or social anarchy, thus effected, have exerted an influence on the present and future fortunes of mankind the full significance of which may be divined, but cannot, as yet, be estimated at its full value.","author":"Thomas Henry Huxley","tags":["anarchy","civilization","comfort","convenience","development","famine","forces","fortune","future","history","ignorance","improvement","increase","influence","intercommunication","invention","locomotion","machinery","mankind","obstacles","pestilence","prejudice","production","science","significance","value"],"id":79030,"author_id":"Thomas+Henry+Huxley"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":33,"pages":4,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
