All divisions of history into periods are artificial in proportion
as they are precise. In history there is, strictly speaking, no end
and no beginning. Each event is the product of an infinite series
of causes, the starting-point of an infinite series of effects.
Language and thought, government and manners, transform themselves
by imperceptible degrees; with the result that every age is an age
of transition, not fully intelligible unless regarded as the child
of a past and the parent of a future. Even so the species of the
animal and vegetable kingdoms shade off one into another until, if
we only observe the marginal cases, we are inclined to doubt
whether the species is more than a figment of the mind. Yet the
biologist is prepared to defend the idea of species; and in like
manner the historian holds that the distinction between one phase
of culture and another is real enough to justify, and, indeed, to
demand, the use of distingui-shing names.
