It is true that the earlier socialists almost to a man included, in the first passion of their denunciation, things not necessarily within the compass of purely economic reform.

The family—the one institution in which the better side of human nature shines with an undimmed light—was to them but an engine of class ...

She probably rejoiced to see the boy grow up in somewhat of the image of herself, ...

Vanity is rather to be esteemed a social passion, and a bond of union among men. Pity and love are to be considered in the same light.
