Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Usury: Or, Lending at Interest There you sit; there you consider and re-consider how you shall go to work to monopolize, to forestall, to rake wealth together by all manner of cunning and sharping tricks; and how you can contrive to live snugly, and be as sleek as moles, without ever performing one single thing that ought to be called work. But, if I robbed Father O´Callaghan of his references to St. Chrysostom, St. Jerome, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, and the rest, I robbed him only for awhile; I took his goods, as the Scripture allows, I having none of my own of the same sort; he having plenty, and I being in want; and 1 now restore them to him, a thing which no man of you did in the whole course of your lives, from the days of George Fox down to those of that sleek and saintly old blackguard, Isaac Wright, who is one of the elders of the meeting at New York, and who is now, God be praised, in a state, along with his sons-in-law, the Thompsons of Yorkshire, full as happy as I wish him to be. I trust that the Small-Note Bill, and other measures which must follow it very speedily, will bring the whole of your sect in much about the same state; and, that you may be convinced that that state is the one that you merit, read this book, which I now dedicate to yon, and which will show you the degree of detestation in which those ought to be held who practise usury and monopoly, "and who work not with their hands the things which are good," but whose execrable principle is, that they ought to live upon the labour of the rest of mankind.
