Western Europe; America profited from European civilization and prepares
to pass it on, with a technique of transmission never equaled before.
Civilizations are the generations of the racial soul. As life overrides
death with reproduction, so an aging culture hands its patrimony down to
its heirs across the years and the seas. Even as these lines are being written,
commerce and print, wires and waves and invisible Mercuries of the air are
binding nations and civilizations together, preserving for all what each has
given to the heritage of mankind.
