ABSTRACT
The scientific society is, in the main, a thing of the future, although various of its characteristics are adumbrated in various States at the present day. As people approach modern times, the changes deliberately brought about in social structure become greater. This is especially the case where revolutions are concerned. The American Revolution and the French Revolution deliberately created certain societies with certain characteristics, but in the main these characteristics were political, and their effects in other directions formed no part of the primary intentions of the revolutionaries. Such artificial societies will, of course, until social science is much more perfected than it is at present, have many unintended characteristics, even if their creators succeed in giving them all the characteristics that were intended. Modern Japan was until its defeat almost exactly what it was intended to be by the men who made the revolution in 1867.
