“Move upward, working out the beast, and let the ape and tiger die."-Tennyson:
In Memoriam, cxvili.

"It is well if the mass of mankind will obey the laws when made without scrutiniz-
ing too nicely into the reasons for making them."-Blackstone: Commentaries on the
Laws of England, Book II., Ch. I.

"The starting point of the development that gave rise to the wage-laborer as well as
to the capitalist was the servitude of the laborer."-Marx: Capital, p. 739.

"Since the advent of civilization, the outgrowth of property has been so immense
... that it has become, on the part of the people, an unmanageable power

property, and define the relations of the state to the property it protects, as well as the
obligations and the limits of the rights of its owners.”—Morgan: Ancient Society, p. 552.
