Présentation de l'éditeur :
Out life is turned Out of her course, wherever man is made An offering, or a sacrifice, a tool Or implement, a passive thing employed As a brute mean,-without acknowledgment Of common right or interest in the end; Used or abused as selfishness may prompt. Wordsworth. The object of works like the Utopia is very commonly misunderstood. People are apt to imagine, because the form in which the principles appear has been created by the author, that the principles themselves likewise partake of a visionary character, and have no reference to society as it actually exists. The attempt to exhibit them in action seems fatal to their vitality. They are supposed to be adapted to the use of no community, because the community in whose social condition the author has chosen to exemplify their necessary operation, is disguised by a fanciful name, or perhaps has no existence. But this is an unphilosophical mode of judging.
