Excerpt from Labour, Social Reform and Democracy, Vol. 1Hypocrisy are only equalled by the stupidity of the masses who believe them, that their only aim is the emancipation of labour and the introduction of an era of social equality and of true democracy. In the following pages I have made an attempt not only to give a sketch of the history of human social and economic suffering, but also to record the ideas on labour, social reform, and democracy propounded by the Apostles of Social Justice of all ages. The present volume brings up my sketch to the first centuries of the Christian era. The next volume will be devoted to the Middle Ages, the Reformation, the Renaissance, the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the French Revolution, and the first half of the nineteenth cen tury. The cry for justice has been uttered by numerous sociologists and philosophers, poets and prophets, but I am making a distinction between the true and false prophets. With the latter I am but little concerned, leaving them to the judgment of history, but from the teaching of the former, the reader, as I hope, may derive some benefit, inspiration, and consolation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
