The Greek and the Turk; Or Powers: And Prospects (Classic Reprint)

The Oceanic world is the world of the present; theM editerranean world, that of the past. All that is great, powerful, progressive in modern times, finds itself established on the shore of the wide sea, whose space and distance has dwindled under the influence of human inventions to the same proportions which of old existed in theM editerranean. London is now within the same distance of New York, that Rome used to be of Carthage or of A thens. The Atlantic is as much a lake as theM editerranean was wont to be. This expansion of mans physical power to fit him to a larger sphere of action, has been accompanied in some degree, and will be so in a much greater measure, by an expansion of his moral and intellectual facidties.
