GARDEN CITIES

OF

TO-MORROW

(BEING THE SECOND EDITION OF “TO-MORROW: A PEACEFUL PATH TO REAL

REFORM”)

BY

EBENEZER HOWARD

“New occasions teach new duties;

Time makes ancient good uncouth;

They must upward still, and onward,

Who would keep abreast of Truth.

Lo, before us, gleam her camp-fires!

We ourselves must Pilgrims be,

Launch our ‘Mayflower,’ and steer boldly

Through the desperate winter sea,

Nor attempt the Future’s portal

With the Past’s blood-rusted key.”

—“The Present Crisis.”—J. R. Lowell.
