To predict the Future, to manage the Present, would not be so impossible, had not the Past been so sacrilegiously mishandled: A godless century, looking back to centuries that were godly. (p. 297.)--A new real Aristocracy and Priesthood. The noble Priest always a noble _Aristos_ to begin with, and something more to end with. Modern Preachers, and the _real_ Satanas that now is. Abbot-Samson and William-Conqueror times. The mission of a Land Aristocracy a _sacred_ one, in both senses of that old word. Truly a 'Splendour of God' did dwell in those old rude veracious ages. Old Anselm travelling to Rome, to appeal against King Rufus. Their quarrel at bottom a great quarrel. (299.)--The boundless Future, predestined, nay already extant though unseen. Our Epic, not _Arms and the Man_, but _Tools and the Man_; an infinitely wider kind of Epic. Important that our grand Reformation were begun. (308.) Chap. II. _Bribery Committee._ Our theory, perfect purity of Tenpound Franchise; our practice, irremediable bribery. Bribery, indicative not only of length of purse, but of brazen dishonesty: Proposed improvements. A Parliament, starting with a lie in its mouth, promulgates strange horoscopes of itself. (p. 312.)--Respect paid to those worthy of no respect: Pandarus Dogdraught. The indigent discerning Freeman; and the kind of men he is called upon to vote for. (315.) Chap. III. _The one Institution._ The 'Organisation of Labour,' if well understood, the Problem of the whole Future. Governments of various degrees of utility. Kilkenny Cats; Spinning-Dervishes; Parliamentary Eloquence. A Prime-Minister who would dare believe the heavenly omens. (p. 318.)--Who can despair of Governments, that passes a Soldier's Guard-house?--Incalculable what, by arranging, commanding and regimenting, can be made of men. Organisms enough in the dim huge Future; and 'United Services' quite other than the red-coat one. (321.)--Legislative interference between Workers and Master-Workers increasingly indispensable. Sanitary Reform: People's Parks: A right Education Bill, and effective Teaching Service. Free bridge for Emigrants: England's sure markets among her Colonies. London the _All-Saxon-Home_, rendezvous of all the 'Children of the Harz-Rock.' (326.)--The English essentially conservative: Always the invincible instinct to hold fast by the Old, to admit the _minimum_ of New. Yet new epochs do actually come; and with them new peremptory necessities. A certain Editor's stipulated work. (330.) Chap. IV. _Captains of Industry._ Government can do much, but it can in nowise do all. Fall of Mammon: To be a noble Master among noble Workers, will again be the first ambition with some few. (p. 333.)--The leaders of Industry, virtually the Captains of the World: Doggeries and Chivalries. Isolation, the sum-total of wretchedness to man. All social growths in this world have required organising; and Work, the grandest of human interests, does now require it. (335.)
