Excerpt from The English Poor: A Sketch of Their Social and Economic History The purpose of this work is to direct attention to the in?uences which have dominated the history of the poor in this country. It will be found that the view presented differs from the popularly conceived opinion as to the causes which have produced the inequalities of modern life. Assumptions have been made without sufficient inquiry, yet of such importance that they control with disastrous effect the whole course of modern Speculation, and, consequently, of modern practice. It has been assumed that Socialism is something new, and that in the past, human destiny has been entrusted to the care of the individualistic prin ciple. The main object of the present volume is to show that this is the very contrary of the truth. The dominant principle in human affairs has been Socialism. History is the record of the gradual and painful emancipation of the individual from the socialistic tyranny of slavery, feudalism, and centralised authority. The salient distinction between the Socialist and the Individualist theory of life, as it is under stood in these pages, may here be stated. By Individualism is meant the rule of conduct which obliges each individual man to adapt his instincts, habits, and character to his surroundings. These surroundings in civilised and associated life are governed by economic laws, which though not of in?exible rigidity are yet more permanent in their nature than human character. They are indeed the environment in reference to which human character must be formed. The definition assumes that man has inherited a capacity for this course of action, a capacity which can be developed by use and transmitted with ever-growing intensity to successive generations. This to the Individualist is Nature s Covenant of Progress. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
