requisite time, if they had been previously accustomed to enjoy them. They know not
what relaxation means, except by the actual cessation from labour. They are surrounded
by others similarly circumstanced with themselves; and thus passing on from childhood
to youth, they become gradually initiated, the young men in particular, but often the
young females also, in the seductive pleasures of the pot-house and inebriation: for which
their daily hard labour, want of better habits, and the general vacuity of their minds, tend
to prepare them.
Such a system of training cannot be expected to produce any other than a population
weak in bodily and mental faculties, and with habits generally destructive of their own
comforts, of the well-being of those around them, and strongly calculated to subdue all
the social affections. Man so circumstanced sees all around him hurrying forward, at a
mail-coach speed, to acquire individual wealth, regardless of him, his comforts, his
wants, or even his sufferings, except by way of a degrading, parish charity, fitted only to
steel the heart of man against his fellows, or to form the tyrant and the slave. To-day he
labours for one master, to-morrow for a second, then for a third, and a fourth, until all ties
between employers and employed are frittered down to the consideration of what
immediate gain each can derive from the other.
The employer regards the employed as mere instruments of gain, while these acquire
a gross ferocity of character, which, if legislative measures shall not be judiciously
devised to prevent its increase, and ameliorate the condition of this class, will sooner or
later plunge the country into formidable and perhaps inextricable state of danger.
