This book contains a series of articles contributed to "The Times" in July and August of 1916. Due to their originality and depth of view, the articles deeply interested H. G. Wells, who collected them into this volume. The articles are primarily concerned with modern law and its creation in a post-WWI society, and will appeal to those with an interest in law and post-WWI society. Contents include: "Introduction", "Science in education and industry", "Scientific agriculture and the nation's food", "The long view and labour", "Problems of political adaptation", "An imperial constitution", and "Higher education in the empire".
