To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under equal liability to meet with misfortunes as we all are ; it is manifestly proper that we should all stand ready, through the organ of our governr ment, to assist the unfortunate ; and nothing can be far- ther from the spirit of equal and exact justice, than to call upon, or allow the children, for example, to support un- fortunate parents ; or parents, on the other hand, to be burthened, or burthen themselves, with the support of un- fortunate children. More generous and just than this, t...he government, in fact, should say to the parent, " It is " we who will, and whose duty it is, to provide tor your " children ; we will not leave the burthen on you. " And to the children it should say ; " The misfortunes of your " parents, must not fall as a calamity on you ; it is for us " to alleviate them, since we are altogether more able than " you are to do so, and since, also, it is our duty. We " cannot, therefore, suffer you to assist your parents, but " as members of the community. You will, therefore, ab* *' stain from gifts in any and every form whatever ; not ** only, because it belongs exclusively to the community ** to assist the unfortunate ; but, because, if gifts by pri- " vate citizens, were not forbidden, it would open a door, " through which posterity might be defrauded out of their ** rights of property ; since, whatever is given by an indi- a vidual to another, is, or may be, so much robbed of the f< next generation ; inasmuch, as he who gives, v ill have " so much the less to leave behind him, when he (lies, as " he may have given to another.
