Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, Vol. 10 When I was reading for my degree at Oxford, I thought that the 'Politics' of Aristotle would be likely to interest me more than his 'Rhetoric, ' which was then usually taken into the Schools with the inevitable and sacramental 'Ethics.' Few people read it in those days, and my desire to take it up was treated rather as a harmless eccentricity, in the spirit of the words 'Tiens, tu aimes ton mari; c'est bizarre, pourtant ce n'est pas defendu.' This was in the year 1850, and I never returned to my old subject of study, after passing my examination, until, a few months ago, it occurred to me to read the book once again, and to see how it struck me after many years passed in politics and administration. When I turned my mind in that direction, I soon found that far from being neglected as it used to be, it had attracted a great deal of attention in the last six-and-forty years, and that many men of high ability had done their best to elucidate its teaching from many different points of view. The first who did so in England was, I think, Mr. Eaton of Merton, who became at a later period Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the author of the 'Permanence of Christianity.'

Excerpt from Transaction of the Royal Historical Society, Vol. 10 One result of the war has been to turn our attention from domestic to foreign affairs. For a long time the British electorate had been so wrapped up in our own constitutional struggles that it was almost completely blind and deaf to other issues. It has been brought back to the affairs of Europe as it were by an earthquake. People who never thought seriously about the relations of England and the Continent, and were content to leave foreign policy to our Foreign Secretaries, begin to form opinions of their own, and will in due season express them at the poll. A new period of our history has begun in which a democracy, hitherto indifferent to external problems and exceptionally ignorant about them, will demand information about these problems, and cannot, without great peril to national interests, be left as uninformed as it is.

The technical problems confronting different societies and periods, and the measures taken to solve them form the concern of this annual collection of essays. Volumes contain technical articles ranging widely in subject, time and region, as well as general papers on the history of technology. In addition to dealing with the history of technical discovery and change, History of Technology also explores the relations of technology to other aspects of life -- social, cultural and economic -- and shows how technological development has shaped, and been shaped by, the society in which it occurred.
