Note 3 — Chapter VI · THE SPIRITUALISTS.1
Henry P. (Henry Pomeroy) Horton translation
In the first place a distinction must be made between voluntary and involuntary poverty. “With vagrants by profession, beggars from choice and speculation, drunkards, those who have made up their minds to live no matter how, gamblers who have systematically used up their capital and that of their family, workmen who have given up work only from rebellion against society, yes, with all these poverty leads to crime.”3 The second kind of poverty springs from disease, accidents, etc., i.e. from causes independent of the will of man.
