Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Herald of the Golden Age, Vol. 8: February, 1903 Upon my desk, as I write these words, are many printed reports and press cuttings, the contents of which would warrant this gloomy conviction. I read that in Christian England, during the past twelve years, Our National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has had brought to its notice cases of barbarity and ill-treatment of the defenceless young. No sub-human race has fallen so low as to necessitate the existence of any such organization for its restraint from such unnatural deeds as these. I read that negroes are frequently being burned at the stake in America, and that special trains bring large crowds of people to witness and enjoy the appalling spectacle of their death agonies, to hear their cries of anguish, and to take phonographic records of the same. The lower animals are not within measurable distance of this level of depravity as yet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
