The fundamental and really important question behind all this is whether the change savours of national decline, or whether it means a saner and better scheme of life, and a preference of human prosperity to mere money-making. Hitherto we have been an adventurous race. We have preferred making rapid fortunes by an adventurous career to a steady routine of industry. The unemployed, who in many cases refuse work and who leave the agricultural colonies provided for them by philanthropists because ...requested to wash their own linen, would probably accept with joy the prospect of a search for hidden treasure. A gentleman who recently appropriated some treasure-trove in Kensington, cheerfully admitted in court that he had not worked again till he had spent his money. The industrial Titans of the nineteenth century made money as quickly as possible in order to settle down as country gentlemen. The idea of work as one of the enjoyments of life is certainly alien to the Anglo-Saxon mind as we know it from 48 EARLY VICTORIAN AND OTHER PAPERS the times of Tacitus, and the industrial prosperity of the country seems to have been generally initiated and stimulated by alien elements namely, Flemish and Celtic.
