    FOREWORD

    chiefly to the women, believing that they can use some-

    thing of the sort in their clubs and forums; certainly

    several intelligent women have told me they are grown

    tired of the "liberal" pamphlets that are showered upon

    their societies, and of the "liberal" lecturers who bore

    them with cant and slogan.

    Some profound truths simply cannot be expressed in

    words of one syllable. I have written this book as simply

    as I can, without sacrificing candor and accuracy to vul-

    garization. It does not contain any thorough analysis of

    conservative thought: rather, it is merely an outline, an

    essay, intended to provoke discussion. I hope that the

    principles I have tried to express may be applied with

    prudence to questions of the hour; but I have not en-

    deavored myself to settle all the political controversies

    of our day. For a more lengthy examination. of these

    matters, I commend to the reader the books of Mr.

    Francis Graham Wilson, Mr. Peter Viereck, Mr. Leo

    Strauss, Mr. Eric Voegelin, Lord Hailsham, Lord Percy

    of Newcastle, Mr. Clinton Rossiter, and othersinclud-

    ing the larger works of your servant. This is a tract for

    the times, with all the faults to which so brief an essay

    must be subject. All I can say for it is that it was written

    with some sincerity, and that I hope it may lead some

    people to the great books and the great names which

    appear in its pages.
