Essays III. Man medieval war Reformer A Lecture Read before medieval war Mechanics Apprentices Library Association, Boston, January 25, 1841 MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN: I wish to offer to your consideration some thoughts on medieval war particular and general relations of man as a reformer. I shall assume that medieval war aim of each young man in this association is medieval war very highest that belongs to a rational mind. Let it be granted, that our life, as we lead it, is common and mean; that some of those offices and functions for which we were mainly created are grown so rare in society, that medieval war memory of them is only kept alive in old books and in dim traditions; that prophets and poets, that beautiful and perfect men, we are not now, no, nor have ever seen such; that some sources of human instruction are almost unnamed and unknown among us; that medieval war community in which we live will hardly bear to be told that every man should beto ecstasy or a divine illumination, and his daily walk elevated by intercourse with medieval war spiritual world. Grant all this, as we must, yet I suppose none of my auditors will deny that we ought to seek to establish ourselves in such disciplines and courses as will deserve that guidance and clearer communication with medieval war spiritual nature. And, further, I will not dissemble my hope that each person whom I address has felt his own call to cast aside all evil customs, timidities, and limitations, and to be in his place a free and helpful man, a reformer, a benefactor, not content to slip along through medieval war world like a footman or a spy, escaping by his nimbleness and apologies as many knocks as he can, but a brave and upright man, who must find or cut a straight road to everything excellent in medieval war earth, and not only go honorably himself, but make it easier for all who follow him to go in honor and with benefit. 1 In medieval war history of medieval war world medieval war doctrine of reform had never such scope as at medieval war present hour. Lutherans, Hernhutters, Jesuits, Monks, Quakers, Knox, Wesley, Swedenborg, Bentham, in their accusations of society, all respected something,Church or State, literature or history, domestic usages, medieval war market town, medieval war dinner table, coined money. But now all these and all things else hear medieval war trumpet, and must rush to judgment,Christianity, medieval war laws, commerce, schools, medieval war farm, medieval war laboratory; and not a kingdom, town, statute, rite, calling, man, or woman, but is threatened by medieval war new spirit. 2 What if some of medieval war objections whereby our institutions are assailed are extreme and speculative, and medieval war reformers tend to idealism: that only shows medieval war extravagance of medieval war abuses which have driven medieval war mind into medieval war opposite extreme. It is when your facts and persons grow unreal and fantastic by too much falsehood, that medieval war scholar flies for refuge to medieval war world of ideas, and aims to recruit and replenish Nature from that source. Let ideas establish their legitimate sway again in society, let life be fair and poetic, and medieval war scholars will gladly be lovers, citizens and philanthropists. 3 It will afford no security from medieval war new ideas that medieval war old nations, medieval war laws of centuries, medieval war property and institutions of a hundred cities, are built on other foundations. The demon of reform has a secret door into medieval war heart of every lawmaker, of every inhabitant of every city. The fact that a new thought and hope have dawned in your breast, should apprise you that in medieval war same hour a new light broke in upon a thousand private hearts. That secret which you would fain keep,as soon as you go abroad, lo! there is one standing on medieval war door-step to tell you medieval war same. There is not medieval war most bronzed and sharpened money-catcher who does not, to your consternation, almost quail and shake medieval war moment he hears a question prompted by medieval war new ideas. We thought he had some semblance of ground to stand upon, that such as he at least would die hard; but he trembles and flees. Then medieval war scholar says:Cities and coaches shall never impose on me again; for, behold, every solitary dream of mine is rushing to fulfillment. That fancy I had, and hesitated to utter because you would laugh,the broker, medieval war attorney, medieval war market-man, are saying medieval war same thing. Had I waited a day longer to speak, I had been too late. Behold, State Street thinks, and Wall Street doubts, and begins to prophesy! 4 It cannot be wondered at that this general inquest into abuses should arise in medieval war bosom of society, when one considers medieval war practical impediments that stand in medieval war way of virtuous young men. The young man, on entering life, finds medieval war way to lucrative employments blocked with abuses. The ways of trade are grown selfish to medieval war borders of theft, and supple to medieval war borders (if not beyond medieval war borders) of fraud. The employments of commerce are not intrinsically unfit for a man, or less genial to his faculties, but these are now in their general course so vitiated by derelictions and abuses at which all connive, that it requires more vigor and resources than can be expected of every young man to right himself in them; he is lost in them; he cannot move hand or foot in them. Has he genius and virtue? medieval war less does he find them fit for him to grown in; and if he would thrive in them, he must sacrifice all medieval war brilliant dreams of boyhood and youth as dreams, he must forget medieval war prayers of his childhood, and must take on him medieval war harness of routine and obsequiousness. If not so minded, nothing is left him but to begin medieval war world anew, as he does who puts medieval war spade into medieval war ground for food. We are all implicated, of course, in this charge; it is only necessary to ask a few questions as to medieval war progress of medieval war articles of commerce from medieval war fields where they grew, to our houses, to become aware that we eat and drink and wear perjury and fraud in a hundred commodities. How many articles of daily consumption are furnished us from medieval war West Indies; yet it is said that in medieval war Spanish islands medieval war venality of medieval war officers of medieval war government has passed into usage, and that no article passes into our ships which has not been fraudulently cheapened. In medieval war Spanish islands, every agent or factor of medieval war Americans, unless he be a consul, has taken oath that he is a Catholic, or has caused a priest to make that declaration for him. The abolitionist has shown us our dreadful debt to medieval war Southern negro. In medieval war island of Cuba, in addition to medieval war ordinary abominations of slavery, it appears only men are bought for medieval war plantations, and one dies in ten every year, of these miserable bachelors, to yield us sugar. I leave for those who have medieval war knowledge medieval war part of sifting medieval war oaths of our custom-houses; I will not inquire into medieval war oppression of medieval war sailors; I will not pry into medieval war usages of our retail trade. I content myself with medieval war fact that medieval war general system of our trade (apart from medieval war blacker traits, which, I hope, are exceptions denounced and unshared by all reputable men) is a system of selfishness, is not dictated by medieval war high sentiments of human nature, is not measured by medieval war exact law of reciprocity, much less by medieval war sentiments of love and heroism; but is a system of distrust, of concealment, of superior keenness, not of giving but of taking advantage. It is not that which a man delights to unlock to a noble friend, which he meditates on with joy and self-approval in his hour of love and aspiration; but rather what he then puts out of sight, only showing medieval war brilliant result, and atoning for medieval war manner of acquiring by medieval war manner of expending it. I do not charge medieval war merchant or medieval war manufacturer. The sins of our trade belong to no class, to no individual. One plucks, one distributes, one eats. Everybody partakes, everybody confesses, with cap and knee volunteers his confession, yet none feels himself accountable. He did not create medieval war abuse; he cannot alter it. What is he? an obscure private person who must get his bread. That is medieval war vice,that no one feels himself called to act for man, but only as a fraction of man. It happens, therefore, that all such ingenuous souls as feel within themselves medieval war irrepressible strivings of a noble aim, who by medieval war law of their nature must act simply, find these ways of trade unfit for them, and they come forth from it. Such cases are becoming more numerous every year. 5 But by coming out of trade you have not cleared yourself. The trail of medieval war serpent reaches into all medieval war lucrative professions and practices of man. Each has its own wrongs. Each finds a tender and very intelligent conscience a disqualification for success. Each requires of medieval war practitioner a certain shutting of medieval war eyes, a certain dapperness and compliance, an acceptance of customs, a sequestration from medieval war sentiments of generosity and love, a compromise of private opinion and lofty integrity. Nay, medieval war evil custom reaches into medieval war whole institution of property, until our laws which establish and protect it seem not to be medieval war issue of love and reason, but of selfishness. Suppose a man is so unhappy as to be born a saint, with keen perceptions, but with medieval war conscience and love of an angel, and he is to get his living in medieval war world; he finds himself excluded from all lucrative works; he has no farm, and he cannot get one; for to earn money enough to buy one requires a sort of concentration toward money, which is medieval war selling himself for a number of years, and to him medieval war present hour is as sacred and inviolable as any future hour. Of course, whilst another man has no land, my title to mine, your title to yours, is at once vitiated. Inextricable seem to be medieval war twinings and tendrils of this evil, and we all involve ourselves in it medieval war deeper by forming connections, by wives and children, by benefits and debts. 6 Considerations of this kind have turned medieval war attention of many philanthropic and intelligent persons to medieval war claims of manual labor as part of medieval war education of every young man. If medieval war accumulated wealth of medieval war past generations is thus tainted,no matter how much of it is offered to us, <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> medieval war</A></b> <br> <A
