To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But howdoes the _slave_ differ from his _master_, but by _chance_?For though the mark, with which the latter is pleased tobrand him, shews, at the first sight, the difference of their_fortune_; what mark can be found in his _nature_, that canwarrant a distinction? To this consideration we shall add the following, that if men can justlybecome the property of each other, their children, like the offspring ofcattle, must inherit their _paternal_ lot. Now, as the actions ofthe father and the child ...must be thus at the sole disposal of theircommon master, it is evident, that the _authority_ of the one, as a_parent_, and the _duty_ of the other, as a _child_, mustbe instantly annihilated; rights and obligations, which, as they aresounded in nature, are implanted in our feelings, and are established bythe voice of God, must contain in their annihilation a solid argument toprove, that there cannot be any _property_ whatever in the _humanspecies_. We may consider also, as a farther confirmation, that it is impossible, in the nature of things, that _liberty_ can be _bought_ or_sold_!
