Excerpt from Social Equality: A Short Study in a Missing Science The country rector's phaeton. The central group in the drama is the large barouche with its occupant. All the passers-by turn to it for at least a moment, and acknowledge either by their looks or salutations the importance of the principle that is embodied in it. The solicitor squints at it the farmer touches his hat to it; the rector waves his hand to it. Nor is this all: for between these minor characters there are looks or salutations also; and they are each charged with a meaning either of respect or of condescension. The whole forms.

Excerpt from Equality But, though it was not long before the yohng stranger's first astonishment at the institutions of the] new world had passed into enthusiastic admiration and he was ready to ad mit that the race had for the first time learned how'to live, he presently began to repine at a fate which had introduced him to the new world, only to leave him oppressed by a sense of hopeless loneliness which all the kindness of his new friends could not relieve, feeling, as he must, that it was dictated by pity only.
