Description

5.5" x 8" tall with 32 pages in good to very good condition Printed by Yale University Press about a speech Professor William Graham Sumner gave in 1883 and published in his book The Forgotten Man and Other Essays. "He works, he votes, generally he prays - but he always PAYS. All the burden fall on him, or her, for it is time to remember that the Forgotten Man is not seldom a woman." As soon as A observes something which seems to him wrong, from which X is suffering, A talks it over with B, and A and B then propose to get a law passed to remedy the evil and help X. Their law always proposes to determine what C shall do for X, or, in better case, what A, B, and C shall do for X... What I want to do is to look up C. I want to show you what manner of man he is. I call him the Forgotten Man. perhaps the appellation is not strictly correct. he is the man who never is thought of.... I call him the forgotten man
