THE 
GROWTH OF MODERN NATIONS. 
A history of the Particularist Form of Society. 
Translated from the French of HENRI pte TOURVILLE 
by M. G. LOCH. 
Demy 8vo. 12s. 6d. net. 
The articles which are here presented in the form of a volume 
were contributed by the author to the French periodical La Science 
Sociale over a period of six years ending in February, 1903. His 
death occurred within a few days of his completing the work. 
M. de Tourville, after showing that the transformation of the 
communal into the particularist family took place in Scandinavia, 
and was largely due to the peculiar geographical character of the 
Western slope, traces the development of modern Europe from the 
action of the particularist type of society upon the fabric of Roman 
civilization. 
OUT OF CHAOS. 
A Personal Story of the Revolution in Russia. 
By PRINCE MICHAEL TRUBETZKOI. 
Crown 8v0. 658. 
Succeeding at the age of twenty-three to considerable position and 
wealth, Prince Trubetzkoi was early impressed by the desperate 
condition of the Russian lower classes, and began to interest himself 
in schemes of reform. He quickly discovered that open methods 
had no chance of success, and it was not long before an experience 
of prison and exile led him to abandon his social career and fling 
himself with all his heart into the arms of the revolutionary party. 
Throughout his unceasing struggles on behalf of liberty Prince 
Trubetzkoi has ever held up the ideal of Peaceful Regeneration as 
the result of education and self-sacrifice, and has opposed the anar- 
chical violence which can only impede the cause of reform. His book, 
which is a nightmare of spies and passports, of underground printing 
presses and smuggled literature, of hideous anxieties and hairbreadth 
escapes, gives a lurid picture of modern Russia from the reformer’s 
point of view.
