I tJso said there were no criminal classes : and I do not think I gave full credit for all that is therein implied. It is really a great and signal fact, and goes far to redeem much that one regrets or condenms. There must be very many orphans here, whose parents have died by pestilence or more ordinary disease, by earthquake or by the hardships of travelling. There are no poor laws to relieve and support the destitute, no hospitals, no dispensaries, no charity schools: from all which, an Engli...shman might perhaps expect that orphans would be plunged into misery, that beggary, theft, prostitution, and violent crime must follow, and that the criminal class would be numerous and powerful Undoubtedly there are robber tribes in some districts, but these are beyond the pale of the community, and are like foreign enemies: but in the cities, which are with us the great seedbeds of crime, there is here no ablebodied beggary, no prostitution, no class of thieves or villains. Unless any one thinks (what is ultra-Malthusian), that hospitals and schools as well as poor laws do pure mischief, there must be some strong element of goodness in this community to account for the results.
