Excerpt from The Rise, Progress, and Phases of Human Slavery: How It Came Into the World, and How It Shall Be Made to Go OutThe only difference is, it is in the one case slavery direct and avowed, in the other, slavery hypocritically masked under legal forms. The latter is the phase slavery has assumed in countries calling them selves Christian and civilized, but it is a slavery not the less galling and unbearable because it is indirect and disguised. Y What are called the Working Classes are the slave populations 4 '0f civilized countries. These classes constitute the basis of European society in particular and of all civilized societies in general. We make this restriction, because there are societies in which there is found nothing to correspond with what in England and France are called the working classes. For example, they are unknown in Arabia, amongst the Nomad tribes of Africa, the red-indians of America, and the hunter tribes of Tartary and, although in process of development, they are comparatively few and far between in Russia, Turkey, Greece and, indeed, throughout the nations of the East in general.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
