1254_a_8, cited on p. 88, n. 10. This relieves the severity of the
doctrine, since it shows that he thinks chiefly of domestic slavery.
But in his proposed state, all industry is manned by slaves. Cf. iv
(vii). 1330_a_25-31.
Footnote 641:
_Pol._ 1254_a_9-13; cf. _Eud. Eth._ 1241_b_17-24.

Footnote 644:
1254_a_28-31; 1254_b_15. As Wallon (_op. cit._, p. 391) points out,
his radical error is a constant confusion of hypothesis with reality.

1254_b_6-10; 11 f.; 16-20; 1255_b_6-15; a doctrine emphasized by
Plato, _Rep._ 590D; _Laws_ 645B, 714A, 818A, 684C, as also by Carlyle
and Ruskin; cf. Shorey, _Class. Phil._, IX (1914), 355 ff. Though
Ruskin believed that natural slavery was the inevitable lot of many
men, he did not uphold negro slavery, _Mun. Pul._, v, 133 (Vol. XVII,
256 f.); Time and Tide, p. 149 (Vol. XVII, 438). But he pointed to the
white economic slavery as equally bad, _Stones of Venice_, II (Vol. X,
193); Time and Tide, p. 105 (Vol. XVII, 403); _Crown of Wild Olive_,
119; _Cestus Aglaia_, p. 55.

Footnote 661:
1255_b_20-22. Barker (_op. cit._, p. 369, n. 1) well observes that
this is a challenge of the right of slavery, not an argument for it,
and that it may have impressed his contemporaries so. Cf. Ruskin: “So
there is only one way to have good servants; that is to be worthy of
being well served.” (_Letters on Servants and Houses_, Vol. XVII,
5-18, App. V); cf. also pp. 520 ff.

virtue.
Footnote 666:
1260_a_39-42; 1260_b_2 f. Cf. Ruskin, _Fors Clav._, III, Letter 28,

Cf. his reference to Cleisthenes’ gift of Athenian citizenship to many

(Diog. L. V. 1. 9).
