Footnote 1:
Compare the chapter on Gothic Palaces in Ruskin’s Stones of Venice.
Footnote 2:
Professor Albion W. Small puts it as follows: “Described with respect
to form rather than content, the social process is a tide of
separating and blending social processes, consisting of incessant
decomposition and recomposition of relations within persons and
between persons, in a continuous evolution of types of persons and of
associations.” (American Journal of Sociology, 18, 210.)
Footnote 3:
“I rather demur to _Dinosaurus_ not having ‘free will,’ as surely we
have.” (More Letters of Charles Darwin, vol. I, 155.)

Footnote 6:
Among the writers who have expounded conflict and co-operation as
phases of a single organic process are J. Novicow, in Les luttes entre
sociétés humaines, and Lester F. Ward, in Pure Sociology. Professor L.
M. Bristol gives a summary of their views in his Social Adaptation.
