This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: in MENTAL SERVITUDE Social and industrial progress, measured by either the increase of conserved wealth?about two per cent. per annum of the value of the nation becomes fairly permanent?or measured by the mass intelligence of the race, seems slow and erratic.
