Footnote 161: The Fourth Illustration was prepared before the appearance of Mr. Gustavus Myers’ _History of Great American Fortunes_, in which the reader can find much concerning the land steals. Myers’ three volumes are brimful of bombshells for the “noble record” of the glistening barnacles that have clung to the body politic ever since George Washington was under indictment for swearing off his taxes. Mr. Myers has sadly bedimmed the glory of the illustrious “solid men of business.” The work serves as a great contribution to the literature on _social parasitism_ concerning which the wage-earner should make all haste to get all possible information.
