“Mr. W. J. Ghent, author of ‘Our benevolent feudalism,’ has written ‘Mass and class: a survey of social divisions.’ In his present work, Mr. Ghent seeks to analyze the social mass into its component classes; to describe these classes, not as they may be imagined in some projected benevolent feudalism, but as they are to be found here and now in the industrial life of the nation; and to indicate the current of social progress which, in spite of the blindness of the workers, the rapacity of the masters, and the subservience of the retainers, makes ever for an ultimate of social justice.”—R. of Rs.
