PROGRESS OF THE SPECIES MAGAZINES

PROGRESS OF THE SPECIES MAGAZINES
   Carlyle's name for the literature of the day which does nothing to help the progress in question, but keeps idly boasting of the fact, taking all the credit to itself, like Æsop's fly on the axle of the careering chariot soliloquising, "What a dust I raise!"

The Nuttall Encyclopaedia. . 1907.
