Excerpt from Lectures on the Nature and Use of Money: Delivered Before the Members of the "Edinburgh Philosophical Institution" During the Months of February and March, 1848

How many? Tell me the number of full grown men and women on this little earth, and I will tell thee the number of thy slaves. All, all! Exception there is not a solitary one.
