Note 15 — Chapter VI · THE SPIRITUALISTS.1
Henry P. (Henry Pomeroy) Horton translation
“It is in the diminution of this energy, in the efforts that have been made to tear out of the hearts of the poor this root, whose flower is hope, and whose fruit is virtue, that I am inclined to see one of the causes of the frightful increase of crime, which all concede, some with surprise and all with dismay.”15
