308 CONCLUSION<strong>of</strong> the State, and therefore demanding from thecommunity as a whole no special care or provision.The implications <strong>of</strong> such an idea, together withthe effect which it produced upon a society in whichformerly <strong>women</strong> had been recognised as members,though perhaps not equal members, cannot be fullydiscussed in this essay ; the investigation wouldrequire a much wider field <strong>of</strong> evidence than canbe provided from the survey <strong>of</strong> one <strong>century</strong>. Butfrom the mere recognition that such a change tookplace, follow ideas <strong>of</strong> the most far-reaching significanceconcerning the structure <strong>of</strong> human society ;we may even ask ourselves whether the instability,superficiality and spiritual poverty <strong>of</strong> modern <strong>life</strong>,do not spring from the organisation <strong>of</strong> a State whichregards the purposes <strong>of</strong> <strong>life</strong> solely from the malestandpoint, and we may permit ourselves to hope thatwhen this mechanism has been effectively replaced bythe organisation <strong>of</strong> the whole, which is both male andfemale, humanity will receive a renewal <strong>of</strong> strengththat will enable them to grapple effectively with theblind force Capitalism ;-that force which, whileproducing wealth beyond the dreams <strong>of</strong> avarice, hashitherto robbed us <strong>of</strong> so large a part <strong>of</strong> the joy <strong>of</strong>creation.AUTHORITIES.(The numbers in leaded iype are the presr marks in the British Museum.)Account <strong>of</strong> Several Workhouses for Employing and Maintainingthe Poor, etc. London 1725. 1027 i. 18 (g).Act <strong>of</strong> Common Council for the reformation <strong>of</strong> sundry ab~sespractised by divers persons upon the common marketsand streets <strong>of</strong> the City <strong>of</strong> London. 1631. 21 1. 5 (4).Act for the settlement and well ordering <strong>of</strong> the several1Publick Markets within the City <strong>of</strong> London.1674. 21 1. 5 (58).Acts and Ordinances <strong>of</strong> the Interregnum 11. 1651.Add.
