CURRENT HISTORY - Volume 22, number 2 - May 1925

New York: The New York Times Co., 1925. Book. Very Good. Soft cover. First Edition. 8vo. Light wear but with a previous owner's name faintly on the cover; no interior markings. Illustrated with photographs and maps. There is a quote from George Santayana, the American philosopher, that has a couple of variations: Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it; and - those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. So true. And he also said, "A country without a memory is a country of madmen," while the German philosopher Georg Hegel said, "We learn from history that we never learn anything from history." These Current History magazines tend to prove those statements. And a look through the titles suggests the problems and issues of 1925 weren't much different than the ones we have now. This issue contains far too many articles to list them all but some of the highlights are: A Condemnation of United States Naval Policy by William H. King; The Imperial City of New York by Samuel McCoy; Frances's Debt to the United States Dissected by Denys P. Myers; Latin America's First Great Educator by C. E. Castaneda; Italian Fascism Developing a New Phase - Mussolini by Carleton Beals; The Relentless Trend of Events in Soviet Russia by A. J. Sack; China's Oliver Cromwell - General Feng by Y. Shimidzu; F. Horner; American Women Who Are Earning Wages by B. P. Chass; Recent Scientific Developments by Watson Davis; and many many more..
