Budapest, V. Rudolf-rakpart 3.

the 11th Novb. [1]900.

Dear Sir,

I am editing a sociological review having among its purposes to treat social problems from the point of view of natural science and chiefly of the evolution-theory; farther to make acquainted in our country the most excellent foreign writers on these topics.

In the next number of this [2] periodical entitled Huszadik Század2 (Twentieth Century) your scientific and social studies will be reviewed and I would be very glad, if you would kindly allow me to illustrate the criticism by a specimen from the book.

Most gladly I would translate the brilliant essay on Human Progress: Past and Future.3

Truly yours | Dr. Felix Somló4
