About this book
Fifty Years Hence, or What May Be in 1943, is by Robert Grimshaw and is described as a Prophecy supposed to be based on Scientific Deductions by an Improved Graphical Method. A dedication to children says they may perchance, fifty years hence, compare these prophecies with what has then come about. A character named Trask supposes it would be reasonably safe to offer any price at all for the performance of an impossibility, and says it is hard enough to be sure of what happened fifty years ago.
The text says sanitary precautions enforced by local and National bodies have completely stopped and prevented the ravages of typhoid and other filth diseases. A part on electricity says the triumphs of electricians in their wonderful science have caused the twentieth century to be named the Age of Electricity. A list names, among others, Steam Boiler Catechism and Locomotive Catechism.
