The Model Town; Or, the Right and Progressive Organization of Industry for the Production of Material and Moral Wealth (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated.1869 Excerpt: ... CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION.

And for this object we wish to present some of the lights of the past and present, to lead and guide in the best and most efficient way to organize industry, one of the greatest of human interests; that it may be organized according to the nature of things, so as to conduce to the highest temporal and moral well-being of man. In opening the book of nature, if we will study its pages, we shall find variety and diversity of parts, and yet perfect harmony, making one grand whole; as from the smallest particle of matter to a perfect system, in the animal, mineral, and vegetable world. In the raising of a perfect animal, there must be an adaptation of means for its health, strength, and growth. For the production of minerals, there must be the combination of the particles of which they are composed. And for the growth of vegetables, there must be a right preparation of earth, air, and water, to develop their natures. And those persons who raise any animal or vegetable in a systematic or scientific manner, will produce the best, and in the greatest abundance. Thus it is in the world; there are systems of philosophy, morals, and politics which, when practiced according to nature and revelation, have conduced to the highest well-being of man, in the circumstances in which he is placed. But in the different departments of industry, as agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, there has been but a partial development and application for the best good of families and individuals; because each of these departments is clashing with the others, and only indirectly advancing the public interest.
