"In the middle of the eighteenth century most people in the world (and perhaps most Europeans, too) could still believe that history would go on much as it seemed always to have done. The weight of the past was everywhere enormous and often it was immovable . . .

Roberts, The Penguin History of the World, 1995 revision, page 671)
