This result to be attained, not by any violent upheaval, but by the slow process of educating the minds of the masses (hence the name, from the famous ancient Roman, Q. Fabius Cunctator, 'slow but sure'). The society has branches in Great Britain, the colonies, and America, and has issued a number of publications. Research Fabian Society
